Easter Dress Finish!

I finished Audrey's Easter dress with time to spare.  The request was for purple and I knew I wanted to use Pearl Bracelets by Lizzy House for Andover.



I just wasn't sure about a pattern until this brand new oliver & s pattern showed up a few weeks ago.  It is called the pinwheel and it's a separate slip dress and tunic that can be worn separately or together!


Bias binding is tiny white dot on purple Hoopla by Moda.  The bloomers are not part of the pattern.

I delivered it last night but did not get to see it on Audrey yet - can't wait!!

Oh how adorable! That is such a cute pattern and it's perfect in that fabric.

Mary, I just called and left you a message about the fabric. Mine looks to be just one shade lighter, but if you think you can use any of it, let me know and I'll send it to you. If you don't mind, I'll look for yours in my travels during the next couple of weeks and if I find it, I'll let you know. Thanks for the sweet card too - that made my day!

Well of course the color would be purple! Is that the favorite color of all little girls? Absolutely adorable with the flouncy ruffles and it's a darling design as well.
