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!
SvarSletThank you so much :-)
SletThat 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 ;-)
