The in-laws are gone, so things are getting back to normal. I have had the itch to sew some things for my little one and whipped this up last night.
I was inspired by this dress at Anthropologie. I absolutely adore how it came out! I made it from two different shirts I had.
I love how the little ruffles bounce when she walks. She just melts my heart. What can I say? I love my daughter and think she is just a cutie.
The only problem I had was I made it too tight at first. I added a triangular panel to the front to help out. Before I did that, she looked like she was going clubbing or something. Not something anyone, let alone a two year old should be wearing 🙂 lol.

You know what, I think I’ll add it to my list 🙂
“Could you do some pretty winter gear for the lil’ ones, or for us big girls?”
As soon as it starts cooling down here a bit I think I’ll be inspired too 🙂 It’s just still in the 80’s for us, so it’s hard to even think of long sleeves and pants at this time!

October 30, 2009 at 6:30 pmI love this dress! I can see it working for my girls with leggings. They’re 8, 6 &5, so not sure how the length would work on them. 🙂
