Christmas Dresses

So I ended up cutting out and starting the girl's Christmas dresses in December.  Then I never had time to finish them.  So now my girls have some awesome New Year Dresses. 

 The dresses were fairly easy.  I used a pattern that I bought from McCalls awhile ago.  The hardest part was making sure that the ruffles didn't get stuck in the bodice while I was sewing.  I didn't do a zipper, but did buttons instead because my machine sews buttons on and does automatic button holes.
