A birthday dress

I made a late decision to make Heather a dress for her birthday. I intended to use purple/ish fabric, but the purple options at the local fabric shop didn't speak to me as much as this fabric, and I didn't have time to look elsewhere. Being a rush job, the pattern is very simple and the sewing is far from perfect, but I think she looks cute in it. As you can see, there is plenty of growing room too, so it should fit her right through summer. I used the tutorial at inditutes for the top (I used the straight sided option rather than A line), except I used my own method for applying elastic to the sleeves. Sewing hack that I am, the rest was made up as I went along.
