Pattern review, dress for Mackie

I gave you a sneak peak last week of the elephants I was sewing for Mackenzie's second birthday. Here's the finished product: This is McCalls pattern 6062 in a size 3T. There is another view in the pattern that is capris & a top....

I really liked this pattern! It went together very simply. I was able to use fabrics from my stash for the bodice, sleeves and sash at the waist. Only bought the elephant fabric and the green underneath. You can't really tell from this photo, but the green is an entire underskirt, not just the ruffle. It does make the dress a little bit heavy, but I would have had to line the elephant fabric anyways, so it's just fine. I will probably make this pattern again for her, next time maybe the other view? All in all, a very good pattern!

Ellyn Mackie's dress is so cute. Love the colours and especially the elephant fabric. Can't beleive she is that big already.
