I made a dress using Simplicity 2180 earlier this week. It has been muggy and hot in San Diego, so I chose a cool, striped seersucker fabric to make this one up.
I was excited about this pattern as soon as I came across it. Unfortunately, my dress isn't the fit that I wanted. I made a fair amount of changes to add room for my chest size as well as to keep the waist a bit more roomy. In the end, I may have overdone it a tad bit. Still, it was very comfy and the back of this dress is a nice, unexpected touch. If things go my way, I'll get a bit of shrinkage when I wash it for a better fit. 
My little girl is 7 1/2 months now. She is a grown baby. lol. Seriously though, it is unbelievable how fast children grow. One blink and she'll be in college....

Very pretty dress and your little girl is precious. Yes, you blink and they grow up. Next thing you know she will be getting married.
Love the dress, seersucker is my favorite summer fabric next to sheers. Your daughter is beautiful, and you're right they grow up much too fast.
Nice job!...I love seersucker, it's cool, sews up nicely and washes well...Great choice for a summer dress.
I love babies too, and your little one is cute cute cute. By her smile you can tell that she already has tons of adorable personality.

First of all, OMG that is one gorgeous little girl!! You can tell she's got a great personality, too. Look at that little smile! And I LOVE this dress. The multi-colored seersucker is so neat and the opening in the back adds something fun and unexpected. I want one of these now!

The dress looks perfect for summer to me. You don't want something too fitted when it gets hot out.
Your daughter is an absolute doll!!
You are so right about babies growig fast, she's so big compared to my last mental image of her!
One question about the dress: is the back knot at bra band level? Or did you make it become so?
Bothe your daughter and your dress are adorable!!
