Parrothead Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) I finished making dd's Easter dress. I've uploaded photos to my blog. She loves it. I'm not so sure. But I guess if anyone can wear big orange flowers it is dd. ETA: I've posted again so here is a direct link to the dress post. Thanks to everyone who has looked. I appreciate the feedback a great deal. Edited April 7, 2012 by Parrothead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1bassoon Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Cute, cute dress! You da momma! On another note - I'm totally unhappy with my blog design. Yours is something like what I want - are you on Wordpress or Blogger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Thanks everyone. Cute, cute dress! You da momma! On another note - I'm totally unhappy with my blog design. Yours is something like what I want - are you on Wordpress or Blogger? It is a Blogger blog. If you scroll all the way down the page (on my blog) there is a link to where I got the template. I think they do both Wordpress and Blogger templates. Edited April 6, 2012 by Parrothead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingerbread Mama Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think the dress is stunning....and you made it in a DAY? Color me jealous. I could sew for 2 years and still have a jumble of fabric that wouldn't recognize a dress! I think she needs to wear her hair in a twist, or similar, updo and go totally retro. She looks adorable!

justamouse Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I love it! the length and 3/4 length sleeves look so good on her-and the fabric is adorable. You are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Whoa - that looks professional! Love the neckline and 3/4 sleeves, but the fabric totally makes the dress. I want the big girl version :D She looks like such a cutie in that first picture - I know posed pictures serve a purpose (so says my own mom), but those candid fun ones are always my favorites!

Parrothead Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Thanks. Yes, I did it this afternoon. There really weren't that many pieces to sew. The most tedious thing was turning the ties that are in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBS Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The dress just looks so happy and cheerful, a nice frame for your lovely daughter. Very pretty style: a bit "big girl", still sweet, easy to wear. Happy Easter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 She and the dress are stunning. I love that first shot, that's just darling. I love the fabric, orange flowers rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Fairy Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I love it! It's a flattering style, age appropriate, and the fabric is fun and perfect for spring. A home run for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk to the trees Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 She looks lovely! I wish I could sew that well. Oooh, ya' know what would look great with that dress? Sunshine-yellow shoes. (But I love bright colors. Your dd may disagree!;)) I love the photo of your cat. She has one ear turned to you as if to say, "I know you're there, but I can't be bothered to actually look at the camera." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
