…Charlie Brown!
Dresses for Lucy Van Pelt and Sally Brown. What fun - we really loved the play!
Lucy's dress may have been my favorite…
…maybe because of all the polka dots I had to paint on Sally's dress :)
Like all projects, I stressed out about it at first, and then, started enjoying it. In the end, I would do it again, so rewarding!
Did you make this pattern, or is there one available at fabric stores? Please email me, if you don't mind. I'm looking for a pattern as we are going to be performing the musical, "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown". Thank you,

I didn't find an exact pattern, I modified quite a bit. Sorry I can't help more...
DeleteI'm needing to make a Sally brown costume for my daughter. What pattern did you use? I know you modified a lot, just curious what you started with. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLyric, I don't think I still have the pattern but I think it was an adult A-line dress. I think I had to find a gathered sleeve from another pattern, it's pretty hard to find gathered sleeves on adult styles. I may have added the ruffles too? Sorry I'm not more help, good luck with your project!

Hi I am getting ready to make this Sally Brown Dress for my daughter. I too have been unable to find the fabric and it looks like I'll have to add my own polka dots. I was hoping you could give me some pointers on what worked for you as the dress looks great! Did you use a stencil or stamp? What variety of fabric paint did you use? If you stamped it, did you draw a grid on the fabric. Thanks for any advice you have. Amy
ReplyDeleteAmy, I used a black fabric marker, sort of like a sharpie, it took two markers. I had some sort of plastic marking sheet with various holes, lines, etc. that children use to trace things with, I used that and just measured out a pattern placing a black mark where the dot would go, then coming back later and filling it in. It's been a while so I don't remember everything but hope this is helpful! Good luck!
