She really wanted a dress made from the pink/black printed fabric, but I really didn't have enough. Even the coordinating fabric was not plentiful...so we made a shorter dress and she will wear either capri tights (now) or full leggings and a shirt under the dress for fall.
I used an easy set of instructions for a pillowcase dress. Instead of using ribbon, I made long straps from the pink/black fabric. This step makes the dress take a bit longer, but I think it is more durable. I am in love with this dress. It was easy and looks so cute. I can see her wearing this with jeans/leggings/tights...it going easily from dress/tunic to shirt. SOOO fun!
To make things even better...I was shopping at Target yesterday and took a little time to cruise the clearance. The shoes are Converse...pink butterflies on a pink background...and they were $5.74!!
Having a girl is so much fun!!!
