I hadn't realized Butterick's Spring patterns were available until today. I haven't really tackled my Winter sewing yet and now I have to think about Spring patterns. Geesh---that's how it is every year! The seasons move fast. Well while looking through a few I stumbled across this little girl's dress Butterick 5845. I think my jaw hit the floor. It's ABSOLUTELY a showstopper! I love the front, the gathered waist and the lil' train in the back. I immediately thought about the upcoming Daddy/Daughter Banquet that's held at my church each year. My daughter has gone with her dad for the last 2 years and I always make her dress. You may recall her first dress and the one from last year. Each year there's a different theme for the banquet. I don't know what this upcoming year's theme is (or the date---think it's Feb or March) but I hope this dress fits into it. If so I hope to make this in a bright color and do some small tweaks to it to make it my own (probably lower the front hemline and add more drama to the tulle underskirt. Anyway I'll keep you guys posted.
Love it - I'm already hoping for an occasion to make this one for my 5 year old daughter!
ReplyDeleteI love that you immediately jumped on this dress - as soon as I saw it in the collection, I immediately thought of you and the dresses which you make for you daughter!!
ReplyDeleteLOL Travelling_Soo, I am pretty predictable, huh? I'm always a sucker for a dramatic little girl's dress:)
DeleteI've been meaning to comment for a while now, but one of the pics from last year compelled me to do the doggone thing. The 3 "big girls" (the double Ks and their younger sister C) are my nieces! You had a picture with their parents (my sister-in-law and my brother) a few months ago, in an article about how you began sewing; in the picture, you were wearing the first dress you'd made. It is truly a small world!
ReplyDeleteWOW CMG! What a "small world" indeed! Nice meeting you! You've got some great fam. I really love and miss those folks!!! You just don't find good people like that everyday.
DeleteOh that would make a girl absolutely giddy! Oh I hope you make this .....and one for me!
ReplyDeleteShe will feel like an absolute princess in this! Can't wait to see the pictures:-)
ReplyDeleteI love it! Beautiful dress. I think I'd lower the front hemline too...
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with that dress when I saw it!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and your affectionate words.
