Attempt at dress making without a pattern

My daughter is in a horse phase and we found some horse material that she loved.  Immediately, I knew that I wanted to make a jumper style dress with a bib front featuring one of the horses right in the center.  Even though it is a basic style, I didn't see any patterns out there like it so I decided to give it a go without a pattern.  I am pretty pleased with the results and might get a little more daring now without patterns (but only a little!).

It looks perfect!  I especially love the matching hair accessory.  I would say- go ahead and experiment some more.  Your results will be original and your very own.  How great is that?!

Its so beautiful! I know my girl is in a "horse phase" too & she would go nuts over that!!

Amy, this is beautiful! Very nice job. Your daughter looks very happy in it. Too cute.

That is so cute!  I love the fabric and she looks so happy

Three cheers for going pattern free!  In my opinion, that's the best way to sew.
Your jumper is adorable.  Good job. 

 
Seriously super duper cute! You did an amazing job with this one!!! And I love love love love the matching button hair band!!! If only I could get my little one to actually keep anything in her hair!!!!
She is in the dinosaur faze, and I can't wait for the horse one!!! I have had and still have that one since I was 3!!!
She likes pink dinosaurs (What's your favorite dinosaur hunny??? "THE PINK ONES!"...
I bet she would look super cute in this, (your daughter looks super cute!)....except with dinosaurs!!!
But I am not so brave as you to go pattern free!!!

Thank you everyone! 

The "twirlability" photo made me smile!  Ahhh, the joy of a skirt that twirls. Gorgeous!
