A while ago while I was blog stalking I came across a blog and the post I was reading had a picture of this little girl in this adorable dress.  The writer/mother of the girls said that the dress was handmade by a friend.  I saved the picture thinking that if I ever had a little girl I'd like to attempt to make a dress just like that.

Yesterday during nap time I decided to give it a try.  My mom gave me some of my niece's old dresses and so I took an 18 month sized dress and used it for sizing.  I used old scraps that I had (actually, they are used sheets I got from the thrift a while back) and went to town. The first thing of anything I attempt to make is always the worst one, naturally.  I figured if I just tried to piece some fabric together and make it look decent, when it came time to make the real dress I would more-so know what I was doing.

I didn't hide the seems very well and I haven't figured out how to do the back buttons, but here is what I came up with...  And here is my preoccupied model.

He was watching Word World so I quick slipped off his shirt and put the dress on.  I tried to get him to stand so I could take a picture, but no can do.  All he was concerned about was getting his 'baybee' (blankie) back.

And as always, the blankie gets shoved in a ball right under his face to snuggle with.

Alright, I hear the ending music to Word World...time to turn off the TV. Crossing my fingers there is no protesting!
