So, this kid. She's almost 9 years old. She's at least 142 cm tall. Face it, woman - a size 128/134ish does not fit this girl anymore!! Then why don't you start making her some clothes that will fit her?! Now, that's a good question!
I've been saving this beautiful peach colored embossed scuba jersey for something special - a peplum dress for Wilma! Peplum dress it is. Just not for Wilma, sigh! Luckily I have some fabric left, so I might give the dress another go, if I dare.
I drafted the pattern a couple of years ago and tried sizing it up - but apparently not enough.
The kimono is a modified version of New Look 6378. I shortened it a bit but kept the width, so Wilma is in fact wearing a women's size xs.
The scuba was an ebay scoop and the floral satin is from Stoff & Stil.

Kjolen er til salg for DKK 250 incl porto
So sad it's too small! But the kimono is perfect, and will last for a long time!
SvarSletYup, look on the bright side, right :-)
SletI ♡ peplums! You make so beautiful clothes... by the way I loved the cocoon pattern, here is the dress I made for my 3 year-old doughter: http://ripaustunnelmaa.blogspot.fi/2016/02/ruusuinen-mekko.html?m=1
SvarSletThank you Heidi. Your Cocoon dress is so adorable :-)
SletHvor er begge dele fine. Som i virkelig fine. Hvordan ser kjolen ud bagpå ??? :-) Mette
SvarSletTusind tak, Mette. Kjolen ser stort set ens ud for og bag - den er uden lynlås etc
SletToo bad she's outgrown it already, but the pattern is great! Love reading about your tall kids, same here ;-) Our eldest turned 8 in December and is already 135cm tall as well, and growing daily...
SvarSletYup. My 17 year old has hopefully stopped growing at her ca 180 cm. I have a feeling that my 12 year old boy will be taller than my 178 in less than a year! It's only my 10 year old who's average height - same as his one year younger sister.
SletI saw this on Kids Clothes Week and just wanted to comment on how lovely it is!
SvarSletThat peach fabric is so cool! And the kimono is perfect with it! Such a pretty outfit <3
SvarSletOh, and I know all about tall kids! My daughter is 6 years old and 132cm already. And my 11 year old son is 172cm!
SvarSletWow - that's tall!!!!
SletLove this! The color and the floral print are amazing, they scream spring!
SvarSletThanks sweetie - and let's have some spring now!
Sletit lokes great though...
SvarSletThanks :-)
SletLovely. I am denial that my kids are getting older too. ;)
SvarSletGlad I'm not the only weirdo ;-)
