Smocked top dress

Kaylin is VERY picky about her clothes. She will only wear dresses. A few months ago she would wear leggings with her dresses, but not anymore. Now she wears shorts underneath, but only because we require her to wear either shorts or leggings.

Her favorite dress is a smocked top sundress that didn't look like it would be too hard to replicate. I took Kaylin to the fabric store, because she needed to pick the fabrics to ensure she will wear the dresses. She picked out three fabrics.

Here is the first dress:

She loves it so much that she doesn't even mind wearing a t-shirt underneath.

And why is her head chopped off in the above picture? Because of this...



She wasn't in the modeling mood. Also, she pretty much only wears boots. Usually it's her pink with purple hearts rain boots that are falling apart, but to church she wears the ones pictured above.

She loves the dress. What a relief.

To make the dress I loosely followed this tutorial.

The dress is cute and I hope that she keeps wanting to wear it. :)

I love summer dresses, I keep buying them for Macey in hopes it will make the sun come sooner. I don't think it's working too well.
