Pilgrim / French maid mini dress (yes, really)

After my disappointing first stab at Ottobre (the turtleneck with dodgy elastic), I got back on the horse and tried another pattern. This is the velour tunic from 04/08, altough I did make some modifications (I changed the sleeves and added the placket with buttons and did a different closure at the back). I'm happy with the way it turned out, she looked very adorable, but maybe that's more to do with me being besotted with her than the dress?!
