GOOD MORNING CUTIES! OR GOOD EVENING!
I've just finished a practice run for Delphi's flowergirl dress for the wedding next April. I'll be making a practice one for Ophelie too soon.
This fabric is a cotton by designer Robyn Pandolph for RJR Fabrics and the name is Bonbon Bebe! Isn't it just gorgeous?
This dress is a size 2. I've shown the front and the back. Unfortunately I had touched my mouth when I was wearing lipstick and have put a bit on the top of the bias binding in the front of the neck (lining side thankfully). I'm hoping it will wash out. I've hidden the button on the back under the ruffle, whereas on the original pattern it is shown! If you look closely to the side seams just below the waistline you will see this little dress has pockets too.
I decided to add a little bias binding border to the dress to carry in the Aqua of the ruffle. When it comes time to do the Flowergirl dresses for the wedding Amy wants a creamy antique lacy look! It is a very easy pattern to do - just getting the ruffles evened out is the hardest part. Everything else is just plain sewing. Hope you like it. Delphi thinks it's GOOORRGGEOUS!!!!
Love Chris

That fabric is lovely and the pattern is great too!
I am sure the girls would look gorgeous in the dresses you would make for them :)
Très jolie la petite robe bravo

When I was a high school (many yrs ago) our sewing teacher had us make something out of tulle, we used tissue paper when sewing the seams.... then tear the paper away once we sewed the seam, it worked well, I did the same when I sewed on chiffon when I made my wedding dress. Hugs Trish
