It seems like ruffles have been popping up everywhere recently, on comforters, pillows, tops, and very cute dresses! So, here's my rendition in an adorable baby dress.

This dress turned out wonderful in so many ways! It was inexpensive to make. I used fabric on sale, and only needed 1/8 of a yard per color (1/4 for the main skirt print), which came out to about $4 in fabric, about $1 for the black elastic at the waist, and about $2 for the onesie, which I could have gotten even cheaper in bulk.
It was also pretty simple sewing! I left the onesie intact, which is nice because it serves to keep it on the baby and also to cover the diaper. All I had to do to create the skirt was to cut a rectangle in the main skirt fabric: the height of the rectangle is the desired length of the skirt, and the width is double the width of the onesie. Then I gathered the top of it, and sewed it on to the onesie at the right place. I cut out a V-shape in the back of the skirt, and sewed the gathered ruffles onto another rectangle of fabric, then tacked that rectangle of fabric into place in the hole I cut. Then finished it with the elastic over the top and a flower to cover the seam in the elastic.
