((Update - go HERE to see this dress in action!))
Hello friends!
Today I made a super random, "I just need to make something right-this-second!" dress.
It's my go-to dress pattern - the Charlotte Dress form Mama Stellato. This time, I actually made it as a dress, with the sash and everything! Holler! (See my shirt versions, here, here, and here!) I know I pimp this pattern like it's my job, but I truly adore it! It's instant gratification.
Gotta apologize for these photos. Take one good camera with a dead battery and missing charger, and an old camera of ill-repute, and this is what you get. Hopefully the cute shines through anyway??I'll take pics of Em in the dress as sooooon as I can!
This fabric you may recognize is from the
Lisette line that is super cute and popular, for sale at Jo-Ann. I love it to bits! The color is definitely not translating in these pics, but it's delightful. Good for a Fall dress, no? And the ribbon is just an inch wide grosgrain. I literally just went to look at the dress to remind myself what color the ribbon was so I could explain it. Ha! These pictures! The ribbon is called 'Wildberry', and the picture below is
sort of the most accurate. :D
So there you have it! Naptime sewing, and a new Fall dress for LouLouBee! Win!
Are yall off work tomorrow? Have a fabulous day off if you are!
Cheers!
This is so flipping adorable! I love the pattern! The pink sash looks perfect with the yellow!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I love the colors and the pattern! Just adorable.
ReplyDeleteLOVE! Does the pattern go up to size 5? Is this one of your vintage patterns? I need one for Katie!

love this dress! The color is fab. I always love spur of the moment sewing! However, I think my spur of the moment sews are successful about 50% of the time.
