For a while, I had imposed a dress moratorium on myself because I was in danger of becoming an addict. Then, I realized that the seasons had changed, which obviously means that new dresses are required. Yay!
I love the Leila and Ben Sweet Dress pattern. Its simplicity leaves lots of room for imagination. I stole borrowed some ideas from craftiness is not optional (I LOVE her tutorials!), and this dress was born last night. I actually bought this Amy Butler fabric for a dress I am working on for a friend, but I loved it so much that I bought an extra yard or two. Cara's Easter dress is also going to feature a little of that green print. So perfect for a (finally!) warm spring Sunday!
On a completely unrelated note, I have been nagging my hubby to make me a button for a little while now (as if he has nothing else to do...), and when Rachel told me that it was high time I had one, he was spurred to action. :-) So, here it is:
Cara is beautiful. I seriously feel taunted by your craftiness! Should I learn how to sew?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress AND button! At first, I thought you were referring to Cara as the "button", which I thought was just adorable... :) But I'm digging your blog button, too!
ReplyDeleteOk ... so now I have two things on my sewing to do list! A market skirt (cause i totally have a ton of that stripe fabric left) and this dress because I have a gorgeous teal and brown fabric!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am always so impressed with people who can sew. I would love to make my daughter's Easter dress! Instead I've bought her 3 bday dresses so far and there's still 3 weeks to go!
ReplyDeleteOkay...I'm an idot. I was looking all over that dress for a little button! Ha! That dress is way cute though and perfect for spring. I'm going to have to try a dress at some point for my new little niece coming in May! I can't wait to check out those tutorials.
ReplyDeleteHer braids are simply perfect (you must be a quick braider) (!) Of course the dress is adorable. I envy your sewing savy! The pose in the first pic is to die for. Love. Love. Love.
ReplyDeleteHigh five up top for hustling hubby for a button. It sure is a cute one! Snagging it now!
