    Love this dress!

    This pattern is an extension of your imagination! You can make so many looks just by changing up the color palette for the panels!

    I love the Karri pattern.

    The Karri pattern is great for using leftover material. You can get fanciful with patterns and colors or minimal using one color. I am new to princess-like seams, and am making a muslin first so that it will fit well, plus I can see my problems. One is you have to make sure the seams line up well, but that's no biggie. So many pieces make alterations easier, at least for me. Later I may try using stretchy or t-shirt material without a lining or zipper to make a sleeveless top. I will use the lining pieces as guides to make a facing. Thank you for this pattern. Have been searching EVERYWHERE for a pattern that lets me do color blocking along princess-like seams.
