Earlier this week, someone on YouTube left a kind message under the original version of today’s video: “I miss the voiceover.”
Well, as it says in my video, I took @ThePaleWarrior’s advice and remastered that older video to include voiceover and some additional animations, just to make the overall video more fun. Thank you, @ThePaleWarrior, for your kind push in the right direction!

If you add the sleeves, today’s project might be worthy of four flowers on my difficulty scale, just because it’s soooo tiny! But I’ve given it only three flowers, since the sleeves are optional.
I think it’s a fun project though. In all honesty, I was thinking as I posted this, “I need to go back and make another one of these little dresses!” It’s just so darned cute!
