It has been a while since i have sewn anything for my girls. They really haven't needed anything. But i always love a good dress designing challenge. A good friend brought me some old skirts she didn't want to see if i could make anything for the girls out of them. I was loving this dark blue violet fabric with lavender flowers. I sat right down and started cutting away at it. I used an A-line dress of my daughters for the basic pattern, and then i asked my daughter what she was hoping the dress would look like. She wanted some ruffles and longer sleeves. And I had in my head that I wanted an oversized flower on the front like some awesome dresses I saw on Shabby Apple (a great dress website).
So, with that in mind, i made this:
Into This:
Of, course not without having to redo the neckline so her head could fit through. But now in the back it has this sweet over-sized keyhole, with ruffle detail that I just love and may not have been there if it had fit the first time ;).
She's wearing it around with her fancy dress up Cinderella shoes. I think that means she likes it :)
