Good Morning
Our local school had a play and my youngest daughter decided she wanted to be "cute". Quite surprised, I asked her what her version of cute was and she described something simple, but a little flash here and there. I am always happy when my girls come to me and ask me to make them something and this was a time when I was going to come through with just what my little one asked for. 
As my mind went through different things that I could do, I kept in mind that she said simple and flash. I wanted to make things easy for me so I told her that I had some fabric and let's go pick that out first. If we know what color we are using then we can go from there on patterns or something that I could make up. At first she wanted yellow, but then her mind went to a pretty blue that I had just purchased. After we got the fabric, the pattern was next. She found several little sundresses and decided on the McCalls 5613 pattern- dress image A.
My girls know that when it comes to something for the little one, I go over the top with lace and bows, so it is necessary to tell me to KISS---(Keep It Simple Stupid). I kept trying to add different pieces of lace and bows to the dress because "Flash" was a word that I was going to use. I cut out the material for the pockets and later in the evening she told me she didn't really have to have any pockets,lol,,,just wasted a quarter yard of fabric, but I will find something to put those pockets on...heheheha.
Well, this is what I ended up with and when she came in from school the next day her excitement was more than worth the quarter yard (big pockets, she could see herself putting a lot of stuff in them).

| The flash that I added to this dress was the little hints of red, which gave the dress a simple nautical look. The front pleats made this dress so adorable. |
