Sweet Little Coastal Dress

Photobucket

While we were in Las Cruces, I won a Leila and Ben Sweet Little Dress pattern from Project Run and Play (which if you haven't been following, you should. Amazing stuff).


I finally got to try it out. I love the shape of the top and arms of this dress.

I have a serious crush on Katy's coastal curtsy skirt and got some ruffle fabric from my sister for Christmas. I'm still a little bit scared of cutting into that gorgeous fabric and messing it up so I did a practice run with cheaper ruffle fabric that I found at Hobby Lobby in Las Cruces. There isn't one near our house. The cheaper ruffle fabric is a bit sheer, so the dress is full length, like a built in slip.

I love how the ruffles drape in different directions!

It's pretty long since I cut everything out when she was sleeping; but it's okay b/c Ansley has a lot of dresses that fit her now.

I guess I'm ready to make my own coastal curtsy skirt!

  4. Congrats on the win! Love the texture of this one! I want some ruffle fabric now too!

    BTW, I did cut Teagan's hair. Little too much party goin' on in the back. I hear the mullet's making comeback, but still. Good eye. My brother is the only other one who noticed. It's a little shorter than I wanted, but at least it's straight.
