Last night, in the middle of screenprinting butterflies for t-shirts, I was stopped in my tracks when a fabric I'd been pondering caught my eye. I decided then and there to make Adelaide a dress for today.
She has been wearing this top a lot, so I wanted to make a dress version, which is cooler for hot days.
Again I used food to keep her still enough to photograph.
I do love a little flutter sleeve on little girls.
I had thought about making the bodice with a higher neckline - just to provide a little more sun protection; but I do love the look of this pattern from the back, with the two little buttons in the centre.
Shhh, don't tell Mummy, but I'd prefer to hang out in my PJs.
What a beautiful print. Oh how I wish I had a little tiny girl to dress in dresses again!

Both sweet Adelaide and her lovely new dress are absolutely precious! Love the way you finished the edge of the sleeve...
