Just 30 minutes shy of Scarlett's first birthday, I've finished the dresses for Scarlett and Audrey to wear to the party. They turned out so cute! Scarlett's is super darling. I love the foresty theme and muted Fall colors in Lecien's Folklore, and yet the print is an appropriate scale so as not to overwhelm my little girl. I can't wait to see her in it. I used a PDF pattern from ManiMina's Etsy store and added the band and pocket. I lined the dress to make it less transparent and a bit heavier since the temperatures have cooled significantly this week. I'm happy I did. It's a nice weight and a nice finish inside. I left the sleeves unlined so they are a bit lighter.
I found these darling Robeez shoes to match! How could I resist little scarlet shoes for my little Scarlett? They are a great match and good for my little walker. I also found a tiny clip for her hair in red polka dot. I love Rachel Weissman clips. I used them all the time for Audrey when she was little.
Audrey's dress turned out beautifully too I think. I love this Joel Dewberry Ginseng fabric. It's Fall and feminine and a little more sophisticated for my three year old. I think the faux bois is so fabulous! A bit funky for a little girl but I think it works. In fact, I have enough left to make some ruffle pants in it, which I think will be really fun. I also bought it in chocolate to make a tablecloth for the party. We'll see what Audrey thinks. I love the ruffle neck but I'm worried she may not want to wear it. I'm trying to get her excited about the pocket as a distraction! I think this dress will look darling with chocolate brown leggings underneath.
Happy to have the sewing done for the party! Now onto the menu... I can't believe I haven't figured that out yet. Not at all like me.
