Silk + Taffeta + Ruffles

With only 4 days before she is in my arms, I just finished her itty bitty blessing dress. I cannot wait to put it on her tiny little body in two weeks.

(Silk Taffeta)

I started the dress without a pattern and made it up along the way. However, I was struggling with the bodice so I ended up adapting the top of this pattern (I took off the sleeves and added the neckline flounce) for the dress.

Sewing for little girls is simply the best.

Total Cost: $18

  2. I love that dress....wow! I am a beginner and by now I can sew little dresses for girls with a A-line/Gathered jumper style. I am always looking for inspiration and looking to customize and add details to the basic jumper style. I love this and I am going to try it! Thank you.
