Patriotic/ Fourth of July Pageant or Parade Dress

I just finished making my first patriotic pageant dress and listed it on ebay.  I'm wondering if anyone will bid on it...I hope so because it was fun to make and I wouldn't mind making more.  I was inspired by this fabric I found on my recent trip to the Yardage Town.  Usually when I go in a fabric store I tell myself to stay focused and only get what I came in for since I have way too many projects to finish at home, but I gave myself the rule that if I bought this fabric I have to complete a dress within two weeks.  So, I did it.  My poor son... I don't have a child sized mannequin, so I decided to use him for measurements and also as my model...oh my.  He does look quite cute even though he is ALL BOY:)  After I took his pictures I put him straight back into the football uniform he was wearing!
