I am making another set of Elsa dresses for Savannah and Kenzie in a smaller size. This set will be a size 3-4 for Kenzie and size 7-8 with a couple extra inches in length for Savannah. These costumes were made from McCall's #7000. The other set, posted previously, looked very cute on the girls but was too long and a little too roomy too. It will be good for growing room for the girls but are too long for the girls as they run around on the Disney cruise. I will post pictures of the next set of costumes later this week. Updated September 26, 2014 the day I mailed costumes to Megan. Also, included Elsa tags and a small note, with each dress, tag format the same as in the previous Elsa costume posting. Glad to be done with Elsa costumes for awhile since they take me at least 4 days to sew them. The longest time seems to be all the seaming details for the overlay. I used flat felt seams whenever possible, however on the organza it was easier/better to simply run a second seam 1/4 inch from the first seam. The bodice is lined and the satin seams are all enclosed. Trivia -- each dress is approximately $50 in materials (fabric, notions, pattern). Lots of work, lots of fun, and wonderful results from this pattern. Update September 29, 2014: showing Savannah, Logan and Kenzie in their costumes I made for their Disney cruise in October 2014.
