How she's grown!

Children grow so quickly. They hardly have time to wear the charming frocks you choose for them so carefully; in a few months the frocks dre too small, too short. But they are still quite new; it seems a pity to waste them. Here are ways of altering your small daughter's last year's frocks and altering them to look like new, less babyish ones, The alterations are all quite simple and easy to do.
