I made View C. It was lots of fun; lots of work, but well worth it. This pattern, sized for toddlers and children, is a definite winner as fairy/fantasy costumes go. Despite the mind boggling number of fabric pieces to cut out and sew (something like 70 total), the pattern itself was simple and well laid out. We ended up with a finished product even better than we’d hoped. One nice aspect of this pattern is that it includes an under-dress and panties that are pretty enough to be used as a costume in their own right. The pattern also includes instructions for a flowered headband to go with the dress. The whole thing took about 20 man-hours to create (all those flower petals on the neckline and waist are lined to avoid hand-hemming) but, since the steps were simple, there were few adult-beverage breaks needed to complete the project.
