Daughter's matching dress for New year's eve party

 I had posted mother's dress earlier. Since they wanted a matching set of dresses, here is her 8 yr old's dress. Made out of the same chiffony blue fabric and same lining fabric and the same white lace. 
The challenge was to make a 'grown up' fabrics fit a kid! The dress had to last for a couple of sizes bigger too, a she keeps growing!
The dress won't go over the head without some kind of opening. So, opened the shoulder seams on the left and gave a couple of gold buttons, thereby adding a fun element.


           

The white lace close in the yoke looked rather plain; I stitched shiny blue sequins along the loops and a butterfly shaped gold sequin at the end of each loop, on the front. Kid was happy with the bling.
