Introduction: Ruffle Bodice Dress - Original Design!

I created this little dress for my daughter. I tried to take the traditional pillowcase dress and make it prettier and add my own spin on it. I just started cutting out fabric and sewing it together and this is what I came up with. The bodice is fully lined because honestly i could not find another way to keep the ends of the ruffles held in place. All ruffles are hand gathered and pinned in place, and all seams are finished with a zig-zag stitch.
