Sewing

leisurely dress

yep, got sucked in by another cute dress tutorial, this time by JCasa.  Quite similar to these dresses I made here, but I love the slight differences (and of course I love trying out new tutorials).
We had a blast taking these photos together, just in the backyard, nothing fancy.  Natalie and I took turns taking each other’s pictures, so there were some funny ones in there!
I think this will transition nicely into the fall with a long sleeve tee and leggings underneath, it also has a nice bit of room for growth, so it will last a long time!

I did add a strip of fabric at the hem, just to make it a bit longer, we don’t need to be flashing the neighbors while swinging (we’ve got a stunt woman swinger on our hands here)!

    The dress is fun, but I love that you did a mom and girly photo shoot. The dirty feet are my favorite.

    How utterly cute! I love the dress and the fabric. I’m so glad brown is back for little girls. It’s always been a favorite of mine.

    I have never done any shirring. This may be my inspiration.

    Love the dirty feet swinging pic! So fun!

    Adorable dress with great fabric choices! Love the feet picture . . . I think I have a stunt woman on my hands too, considering making her wear bloomers until she is 20 😉

    Adorable dress! A new dress, photo shoot with mom, bare feet in the summer – good times. Love the photos as much as the dress.

  15. I never would have thought to combine the polka dots with the mushroom print. It looks amazing. Brown is my absolute favorite color.

    The picture of the dirty feet just screams summer. I spend the entire season scrubbing my daughter’s feet every night before bed.

    It looks so sweet on her – I love the flower over the eye photo – the dress is gorgeous. Although I would have liked to have seen some of the Anna shots that were taken too! x
