spring dress

So here's a spring dress I whipped up a couple days ago. I've been on a bit of a crafting/sewing kick lately, and I LOVE it! I'm so anxious to have my craft room done so I don't have my supplies messing up our main "living area". (updates on the craft room coming soon! Eek!) I just kind of winged it, (like I do most projects), but I was incredibly happy with how it came out! Especially since clothing is not my forte. But it definitely helps when the dress is forgiving, not needing to fit a certain way.

I just used some fabric I had in my stash. I thought they were perfect colors for spring. If only it looked like spring in these shots instead of the cloudy skies and grass that is attempting life and failing. I had to pair it with a shirt underneath because it was so chilly outside.I did some pleats along the bottom to match the pleats on the chest and back around the collar.

I'm not sure what these dresses are called, but I've seen lots of them floating around the blog world, so I attempted to mimick them. Not too shabby, eh?

I made a simple headband to match with a big scrappy fabric flower and a vintage glass button I had in my stash.

The headband is just a basic long scrap of fabric that I serged around the edges to prevent fraying.

All in all, I feel it was a success and am happy with how it turned out. But I'm not sure if I'll use it as her Easter dress. I guess if I fail at all other attempts for a dress I can always fall back on it.
