I have lost count of how many Children's Corner "Lee" Dresses I have made.
I never grow tired of this gold standard of a dress.

Notes
I am in love with using the sleeve from "Hillary."
In person the smocking doesn't appear so dark, but it is darker than I would like. I can't decide it I should have gone a shade lighter or if the dark is needed to cover the abstract floral pattern.
I seldom pick an off-white background for a smocked dress. But I have had multiple ladies try to buy this dress for a red headed girl. It would be a perfect match.
Dress on display at CJ's Quilt Shop.

Beautiful. I like the addition of piping it's subtle but adds to the quality finish
