Zebra vs. Leopard Doll Dress?

Before I moved my sewing room to my new home this past summer, I promised a little girl some new doll clothes for her birthday. 

I let her go "window shopping" online to pick out some clothes to give me an idea of what she would like to have for her American Girl Doll.  The first one I worked on was a dress she said she liked because of the zebra fabric.
I cut the dress from some old pj slacks I had.  The pattern showed gathering but I pleated it like the zebra dress.  I just now noticed the zebra dress has a square neck.  Oops.
My new sewing machine made the buttonhole and sewing on buttons so easy.

Why on Earth did I Move?

Well, cause this is my backyard.  Such a peaceful place and only about 6 blocks from downtown.
