I agree that the apron dress is too floppy. To make a dress ajustable, I take up a 2" seam all around the middle of the dress which will be covered with the belt. As she grows, you can open the seam . When that is let down to the max, Add a strip of similar color material, in the same area, also of course covered by the belt. My granddaughter is in her growth spurt, so I made the dresses a few inches wider in the bust and shoulders, taking in a dart or small pinch in the shoulders which can also be let out when necessary. I just hate to see a beautiful jingle dress outgrown. You can also put lace around the bottom.
