Red Checked Seersucker Tulip Sundresses for my grand-nieces...Size 10 down to Size 1...it was a challenge to try to find a dress that would be suitable for a 10 year old and a 1 year old...but I am pleased with them...I hope they like them...not worried about the little ones, but the older girls have opinions about the clothes they will wear...time will tell..Thanks for looking!

318296Breathtaking! How wonderful and the girls can wear the dresses comperatively long - and the smallest can get the next ones and so on....Their moms will love you to bit and of course the girls too. Hope to get a granddaughter some day - so far I have five lovely grandsons which are handsome but need to have different clothes :-(

743178These are adorable-know what you mean about the older girls--my 10 y/o almost 11 y/o granddaughter wears only dresses that make her look older and no frilly thing for her-goes by what her mama likes most of the time. I am so old fashioned that if it fit me I would wear it and I am soon to be 66 y/o. I love the summery styles with sandals. Great job! What a great snapshot that would take with them all in them together!

32948Very nice dresses! This bring back fond memories of my Grandma who every summer would make matching dresses fro my 3 sisters and I. We still all remember the year she used gingham with a different color for each of us, I,m sure years from now your nieces will have similar memories.

Thank you, Maria...I decided on elastic in the back bodice so the fit might be better...fingers crossed!
1784Those tulips are the icing on the cake! I am amazed at how well you were able to get them made in so many different sizes! It certainly is a work of love! I treasured everything my aunties gave me, and I'm sure all the girls will too! I hope you post a photo of them all together!

261162It's such a pity I can't enlarge the pictures an alert is coming up saying "the image "http://i.embpersons.com/cute/org9..." cannot be displayed because it contains errors." It's happening on each picture for me and the number of course changes. They look fantastic anyway just on here Kim, well done they will be cherished. Love Chris

Hi Chris...I know, I think it might still be that Miss V is still working on the site to fix it...hopefully it will be back to normal soon...thank you for your kind words...hope they fit!
23447510217Beautiful dresses! Did you design the pattern for each dress? Did you vary the size of the embroidery design for each dress? What a wonderful surprise for all the girls! Congratulations.

Thank you...I found a Simplicity pattern and bought it in two sizes...3-6 and 7-14...then I adapted it to make the two little ones which are a size 1 and size 2...
374They must have a family portrait made. If they don't make sure you make one. Devoted work!

85867Wow they look just lovely. I am sure they will love them.
The addition of the Tulips in the pots just makes it so special.
Gosh how many yards of fabric did you have to buy?
I would calculate it out then add more just incase.

Thanks so much...I bought 10 yards of fabric and it was 60" wide...that made a big difference...I can remember when I only needed a half a yard to make a dress...and there was only one girl! How times have changed...
29726Cute summer dresses! Excellent job...did you also put the personal touch of designing their pots of tulips? If not, I know you could have. Very sweet of you, as always. They must look forward to packages from you.

Thanks, Toogie...Yes, I had to digitize the tulip design in two sizes...I needed a design that wasn't too "babyish" for the older girls...
