KCW: Puss in Boots Dress

Have you read any of Ayano Imai's books?  We have three that we love:  Puss in Boots: Chester; and Mr. Brown's Fantastic Hat.  I created this dress for Zoe based on the fabulous reds, oranges and browns in Puss in Boots.  I think it will be perfect for a Thanksgiving dress -- remember, we live in Texas and usually spend the winter holidays in short sleeves.  Are we blessed?

This dress is based on my go-to pattern, Child's Summer Frock at the Burda website.  I shortened the bodice and lengthened the skirt, used pleats instead of gathers, and spliced a middle panel in the bodice. Fabrics are all repurposed, including two napkins from World Market!
