"Pictures, again?!"
Back view.
The biggest thank you goes to Alison who sent me the gorgeous ribbon, and fabric flower she made.
I love it just as much without the petticoat. It is a more grown up look.
The picture session always ends with a monkey shot of every body around.

marie...it's just darling!!!
Oh My Goodness! That is darling! Seriously, it looks like a JCREW Weddings flower girl dress. Gorgeous!
And I love your daughter's face in that top photo... it's one I see on my daughter quite often too. The "I am tired of pictures so I'm going to pretend I hate this but I really do love my princess dress" face! :-)
I like it either way too and I love the white sash. So cute.
It turned out perfect! I love the pleats and tucks and am so impressed with your precise sewing.
I still have my hems to go but I won't blog mine until Sunday because it is too risky to have my girls try it on.
Good Work! So, what's next?
Perfect!
I love it! I looked up the book and am disappointed that I can't read Japanese :(
Meredith,
Most Japanese sewing books are easy to follow and has lots of diagrams to lead you along. Since you already sew and have made many children's dresses, I don't think you would have any trouble. The recital book, I do admit, is a little tricky because it gives you a basic bodice and sleeve pattern and then you have to draft your own pattern for each dress using the measurements they give you. If you do buy the book, though, I would be more than happy to answer questions.
love it! the flower looks so cute. what happened with the tiffany-blue sash you told me about?
Adrianne,
I couldn't find the fabric in the exact color I was looking for. I didn't have time to order online.
Marie - I hardly even know what to say - what a darling dress! You are so talented, and have a darling little daughter to model your seamstress abilities. Very nice!
Stunning dress! You must be so proud.
absolutely beautiful!
