Closure(s)

These two dresses were awaiting closures for a short time - so I thought I'd better show you the "finished goods".

Oliver+s Ice-cream dress made with my material winnings from Amy at Badskirt.

It should be noted that Miss G did her own accessorising here, and automatically turned for me to take a shot of the rear view without being asked!
(note to self - am I taking too many 'modelling my new clothes'-style pics of the children...)


I have to say I agree with Sheridan's summation of two-year-olds.

And of course the Village Frock, all buttoned up.
Despite what I thought would happen ("it's not very pink or twirly, I don't know if I like it"), she LOVES this dress.
Phew!


Self-covered buttons in red - what you guys voted for.
They're actually done in the fabric that makes up the yoke and hem panel in the Ice-cream dress.
I want her to wear this every day.

Stay tuned in the next day or two for a 'bathers' post.
Yep, I tackled lycra swimwear! (and I think I won...)
PS - there was a sneak peek in yesterday's post...

    I love the Village Frock - I am so dissappointed I did not get this pattern when I had the chance. It will look great in winter teamed with tights and boots. You have your girls so well trained - Ella just runs away now when I get the camera out.

    They are so sweet, both of them. That village frock would be awesome in a woman's size.

    My girls automatically turn around for a back photo too....
    All the gathering on the village dress was SO worth it!

    That litle Miss G is a natural (who is looking remarkably more like you these days!). Love the dresses - and so happy to see those red buttons on the finished village frock. :)

    Love both dresses so much. Gorgeous. The blue one is extra special though. So unique. So much style. I'd wear it every day if I could.
