Owlish bubble dress

Could this pattern be any more perfect?


I've been admiring the garments made with the Oliver+S patterns (and have quite a few in the stash). The bubble dress is actually quite simple to make up. I just needed to find two whole afternoons and some patience to sew it up.


'Cos I just knew that hurrying the sewing will just ruin this cute dress. (Fabric is a cotton voile from Tessuti and some plain cotton voile for the lining)

The kiddo's given me the thumbs up. Methinks this will be her fave summer romp-around frock.


And its great for building sand forts.


Cheerio, bloggy peeps!

Eeeek! That's just adorable!!! You're so lucky you have a little girl to sew for -- and I love it when I see people with little girls enjoying making their clothes!!!

Aahhh the Hoo Hoo print! It's the first time I've seen it made up.

Made up in this dress is sweet.

That is beautiful fabric! I have been looking at those patterns but haven't bought one yet. I think I'll have to check them out again.
