Sweet Spring Dress



Know what's crazy?  I made another Charlotte Dress.

I KNOW RIGHT?!

I made this one on Saturday morning, just before we left for Easter dinner.  Literally - I've got this dress down to 30 minutes.  INCLUDING flip-flopping about what fabric to use.


I used a sweet pink polka dot stretch cotton, and I put a bird on it!  Are we still putting birds on things as a culture? I know I am.  :)


I shortened the sleeves by 2.5 inches to make this dress transition better into the warmer weather, and I also made it just a bit shorter in length.  Check out Emmy's Fall version of this dress here!


Bird!
Edited to add:  the bird is an iron-on from Jo-Ann's from eons ago, and I sewed it on with clear thread after I iron-on-ed it.


So there you have it!  A 30 minute Easter/Spring dress - yay!

Hope you all had a beautiful Easter weekend.  We sure did!  Stay tuned later this week for the alternate version of the Bubble Skirt!  EXCITED.



Love to all,

Pin It

    Wicked cute outfits like this make me wish I had a girl. Or an adult sized version for myself. That's not weird, right? :) I'd love for you to come share your post at my link party.
