Obvi, I made Lucca a knot dress. I can't make a cute little garment for one kid and not make it for the other! This fabric was bought with Lucca in mind... I though I might make her an Oliver and S Ice Cream Dress at one point... but never did. Now I'm glad I was lazy, because this pattern suits it perfectly! I really love that the tiny people playing at the beach are printed right side up AND upside down... no chance of sewing something on upside down! I don't need to spend any more quality time with my seam ripper!
Some views of the dress, hanging pretty on my front door:
I used pretty simple coordintaing fabrics for the bodice and trim: blue with white polka dots, and yellow with white polka dots. I'm all for mixing patterns, but I really wanted the focus here to be on the beach party! Having both other fabrics be polka dots, even though they are different colors, makes it bright and fun without being too distracting.
Of course, I made matching ruffle pants! But, my friends, August in Boston means 90 degrees and a gagillion percent humidity, so my tiny model will not be wearing them for a while :)
Outfit, complete:
Oh, these were both made from the same patterns as Raina's Rapunzel set in my last post. Both patterns from Pink Poodle Bows on Etsy!
She pretty cute, even when I can't convince her to ham it up for the computer :). (These are her 9 month pictures, taken 2 weeks late!)
