Well, this dress was supposed to be for a co-worker’s daughter. I tried to redraft a pattern for a larger size, but it still ended up a bit too small. After I finished it, I put it on Anya to check the size and dang if it didn’t fit her. It is supposed to be a size 6. **sigh**
I will be making something similar soon, but haven’t had the energy (ambition??), yet. At least it fits Anya! Well, it’s a little long, but then she will be able to wear it for a few years. Love that.
So, yes, it is another peasant dress design. Getting sick of them yet?? I think it’s time to move on to some different styles now, but it is so easy to modify the bottom part that they are quick to sew up. I added shirring to the sides to cinch it up a little bit. I added a double ruffle to the bottom and the bottom ruffle is doubled up so it has a “bubble” feel to it.
I really like this fabric, too. I like the color combination with the purple and reddish-pink.
Now I will have to get back to the sewing room. I made lots of stuff in February and one thing this month…I’m out of projects to share! I’m hoping work will slow down enough so I can work on some projects again.
Stacy, it is a darling dress. I imagine Anya was thrilled and I agree the colors are wonderful.
OK, I kept hearing, “It’s the wrong size so enter a comment and it could be yours!!” Darn. It’s adorable and I love peasant dresses. They are so cute on kids.
LOL Melody! I was actually thinking of doing that, but I already told Anya it was hers so I figured I should keep it for her. 🙂
No – never tired of your peasant dresses, each one is so different and cool…I love it1
It’s beautiful!!!
Bummer it doesn’t fit the intended recipient – but now Anya has a darling new dress! I would never tire of your peasant style dresses…or any of them for that matter.
And, LOL, I had the same thought as Melody. 😉 We’re greedy aren’t we?!
I really love it! I love the colors. I’ve been looking for a nice, (easy) peasant style dress pattern, any recommendations?
Lucky Anya! I, too, love the colors, and who could tire of peasant dresses.
Oh I love the fabric too !! And the “flowyness” of the dress.
Thanks everyone!
Wow, that is beautiful, I understand the making it the wrong size. But beautiful design.
What a beautiful dress Stacy! The fabric is just lovely!
