BurdaStyle 10-2011-145 and Michael Miller dissapointment

I wanted to make this dress for DD1 for the longest time! So finally I did. In fact I made her 2 of them and one more is half way done.
This is a very cute pattern for the little girl and comes together fast. The first dress is made from cotton jersey from girlcharlee.com. I made a regular neckline not boat-neck and fancied it up a bit with a piece of bamboo ribbing under the binding.

The second dress is made from Michael Miller interlock knit which I love. It is super soft and great quality. BUT it shrinks sooooo much!!! I made a mistake of not washing it prior to sewing (and I always wash my fabric), but it shrank even more after additional washes. Oh, man. The neckline on this dress is finished with fold-over elastic (FOE). 

Here's a little perspective of how much this fabric shrinks - the shirts below are made for DD2 using the SAME pattern:

Another Diana Moden 08-2010-27

This is the fourth dress I made using the pattern from Diana Moden (two versions shown here). My mom is really happy with the fit, but this time around she requested adding short sleeves. I also made centre back seam so the dress is more fitted.

The fabric used is rayon jersey from local Fabricland store.
