The Kelly shirt dress is designed for woven fabrics, with a fitted darted bodice and lightly gathered skirt. 
It features inset diagonal style lines on the front and back which you can sew plain, or add the optional ruffle into the seam for a playful extra.

muslim girl joins boy band
Format: Hardcover
I got this book for my daughter to read, her review is what follows: Barakah beats is the perfect book for any Muslim in middle or high school to read. I felt connected to the story not many have been able to reach. She goes through what I felt as a Muslim in school, journey is like viewing my experiences through the eyes of someone else. Namira Sharif joins up with a boy band through an unexpected invitation to join them. This is where I feel she finds more about her own beliefs, some Muslims believe music is haram and others believe it the opposite. She finds her own opinions based on her journey, she makes difficult decisions and new friends as the outcome. Overall this book is an excellent read and I don't really have many complaints about it. I don't have much to compare it to since there aren't a lot of books published with Muslims portrayed in such a way. A When Barakah Beat was given to me I nearly jumped for joy seeing a new book written by a Muslim author. Namira does not run from her faith but always tries to remember it, even when she joins the band to win her best friend back. The book hits all the markers when talking about personal values, beliefs, family, and culture, a sweet and relatable read for anyone Muslim girl with a middle school experience. Be warned though once you start you won't be able to stop till you realize you're staring at the back of the book and there are no more words to read.

Joyful!
Format: Hardcover
This book is joyful and I loved the authentic Muslim character and the peace and melody she finds in the Quran. I haven't read a character who does hifz before so that was interesting for me! The story is fast paced and flows beautifully! I loved the friendship of her characters and especially when Jenna asks Nimra if she's going to wear her hijab to school! I love how Nimra owns it. I also connected to the worried parents. So real! I also loved how Nimra prays in school. I loved the family dynamic, the internal dilemma of Nimra, and how she stays true to herself when it comes to music and Quran. I can't wait to read more stories from this talented author! Also this cover makes me so happy!

Cute Book
Format: Hardcover
I received a copy of this book through the Amazon Vine program in exchange for an honest review. This is a cute book! It's a short, sweet, and easy to read book. We follow Nimra as she starts middle school at a public school for the first time. She grapples with balancing her religious beliefs with her love of art and music. She also has to figure out friendships and how to not compromise on your beliefs. While Nimra talks about praying and wearing a hijab there isn't a whole lot about Islam in this book, but some context is there for anyone unfamiliar with the practice to understand why Nimra does certain things. It's a cute middle-grade book that tackles lying, hiding things from family, making and keeping friendships, and other familiar experiences.

Important Story!
Format: Hardcover
12 year old Nimra is thrilled when her parents suggest she transfer to public school, which means she'll finally be with her best friend, Jenna. When Jenna acts strangely about Nimra's hijab on their first day, Nimra is desperate to prove she can fit in. Even though her family doesn't approve of music, Nimra joins a boy band, hoping their popularity will help repair her friendship with Jenna. She doesn't intend to remain in the band after she wins Jenna back, but the boys enter them in a fundraising benefit. Nimra's web of lies grows until she finally has to face what she's done––and figure out who she is at home and at school. A lovely story about a girl torn between her religion and the trials of middle school, this book is a recommended read.
