A Vision of A Dress

I don't know about you, but have you ever seen something and instantly been inspired? Well I recently was...I found 9 yds of this lace trim for just $3. So I quickly though of this, and mind you I can NOT draw at all! 

 

 

(Don't mind that Lucy drew on it and wrote her name so I would know the dress would be for her! Silly girl!)

 I thought this would be the perfect Holiday dress that could be worn year round! (That's my favorite kind of Holiday Dress!)

I found the exact material I was looking for. Score! Once the material got here, I got to work! Here is the final product!

 

 

Sometimes when I make my own patterns it works, sometimes it turns out horribly wrong. Luckily this time it turned out just how I had pictured, and I kind of love how the bodice looks like a tuxedo!

 

 

And the look of the alternating fabric and lace.

 

 

Best of all Lucy likes it too. And I was able to do a lot of things I had never done on a dress before, like the collar, the pleats and the lace on the bodice!

 

 

It also meet the twirl and curtsy requirements too!! ;)

 

Whats your little girls must haves?

Thanks for stopping by!

A few things..

So remember when I told you about my cute little brother getting married. I finally have a few pictures to share. :) Aren't they cute!!

 

Remember me telling you about the little girl dresses and bowtie and suspenders I had made..

 

 

 

It was a beautiful day and I'm so happy they are FINALLY married! ;)

 

Okay I have just one other thing to show you....

First I had to replace a dress Lucy absolutely loved. I made it quickly for her last year and then she grew out of it and was devastated. This is what it looked like.

 

 

So I made this one to fill its place.

 

It's very similar upon Lucy's request. I did use a cute trim that I found at walmart a few weeks ago and have been wanting to work with.

 

Don't mind that the lighting is horrible and it totally looks a different color, but isn't it cute!

 

I have a few more things in the works, and I'll shown them to you soon!

 

Until next time....
