Do I look tired here? This picture was taken in late February when the girls came home from the hospital and I thought I was tired then. I am two hundred times more tired now. Here's why...my baby sister Carly (and yes, I still call her my "baby sister") will be married on Saturday, 8/18/07. Joanna and I threw her a bridal shower the previous Saturday, 8/11/07. And on Wednesday, 8/15, I decided I was going to sew my littles their dresses for Carly's reception. 3 days to finish 2 dresses...piece of cake!Their dresses are beautiful!
- Chocolate Shantung material
- Double-faced front & back
- All seams finished - french seams or hand sewn in facing - something I've started to do since I don't have a serger (hint, hint)
- Skirt is heavily gathered on empire waist enhanced with a thick band sewn in on side seams
- Cute snow-cap sleeves are double-faced
- A large contrast bow attaches to the front of the dress
- 9" inch zipper - which gave me so much trouble - is perfect!
The pattern is from New Look and was perfect for my babies. I normally like to alter patterns to give them some uniqueness, but I just didn't have time this time. JoJo bought 2 flower clips that I might use instead of the contrast bow. It will save me time and I can use the flowers for my hair afterwards.
