I'm sorry. That sucks.
I think you *meant* to make your niece a VERY trendy tunic that can be paired with leggings. Walmart in the US has a super-cute ones with glitter on them. They are $5/pair.

It's still going to be a dress - just shorter than I wanted...but not TOO short. I am going to buy a pair of leggings to go with it. She's a BEAN POLE and outgrows things by height WAY too fast.

Sorry for the tough day. You may have already thought of this, but could you just add a 4 inch piece of coordinating fabric to the bottom as a trim?

I could, but I'm already putting an eyelet trim at the bottom...and its a reversable a-line dress, so I don't want to get too busy. Originally Posted by JTsMom

AND I did get my phone call...better late than never!
Maybe this will be the miracle week for child support to start being taken out of "daddy dearest's" paycheck?? One can only hope & pray!
