I made Eater Dresses for the first time. I've toyed with the idea of making Easter dresses for years, but always end up finding something that I love for an affordable price. When I didn't find anything I loved this year, I decided to give it a try.
I've had the main fabric for years. I originally bought it to make curtains. Although it wasn't super ideal for a dress I was happy to finally use it. I kinda felt like Maria from Sound of Music.
I love the finished dresses.
I love the champagne color, polka dots and how the bright pink pops.
I love the simple flower and box pleats.
And I love the back.
I was so stressed trying to get this done last week. Making patterns and sewing three dresses the week my kids are out of school, was not a good idea. I swore I'd never do it again. But now looking back, dresses done and easter over, it was all worth it.
I had to share this last picture. It makes me laugh. My son thinks he's pretty hot stuff and so do his sisters.
The dresses are lovely. The details are just great...and the last photo is priceless.
ReplyDeleteThey are BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the buttons on the back too. You are very talented :)
ReplyDeleteI really love the dresses. Nice job! Did you make one pattern and then size it or did you make a pattern for each girl?
ReplyDeleteAwww... such sweet shots!! And the dresses look great. Love the box pleats!
ReplyDeletejealous-I dream of little girls in matching dresses. I did make my boys matching ties, but it's just not the same.
ReplyDeleteI love the box pleats and the colors, so pretty!

Kalleen-those dresses are seriously stunning! They look high end boutique-worthy! (not that I've ever set foot in a boutique..lol!) I love the combination of colors-and your Sound of Music comment!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet. Take lots of pictures. It doesn't get any easier as they get older!
ReplyDeleteI made my daughters matching cream-colored dresses one year. My older daughter replied she didn't like it. "There's no color" was her reason!
Yours have a pop of color and I'm sure the girls love to match (that willg pass quickly) Congrats on your finish and pic!
Oh, such beautiful dresses and LOVE that last picture! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!

I love the box pleats too! And the contrasting color of the flowered sash is fantastic!!! Your kids are precious.
