Holiday Tuxedo Dress:
This Tuxedo Dress is one that I have been dreaming up for a while now.
When I first sketched it, 1) I didn't know how I was going to create the pattern for it, and 2) it kept me awake at night I was so excited about it. It took a good time to figure out how I was going to make it. And then when I figured that out, there were so many pieces and so much construction that it took me a good time to actually make it. But the finished dress makes every ounce of energy worth it. I love it.
I love the tuxedo ruffles, the length of the sleeves, the sleeve cuffs, the pretty collar, and the poofiness and flow of the skirt pieces (poofiness is a great word). It is made out of a poplin fabric that gives it just the right weight and feel. For me, it is perfection.
And Drew has the sweetest lips in that last picture. I will look back at that picture ten years from now and remember what her sweet little two-year-old kisses were like.
Seriously so cute!! I would wear the tuxedo dress and hat myself!! I do wish I could sew! :) And of course your model is a pro now!! Hi from all of us.

ReplyDeleteYou are going to be one busy lady! I know those dresses are going to make it to the front page of Etsy:) You better be careful... you are going to have to higher assistants soon. LOL.
If I had a girl I'd be first in line:) How about you create a sweet little boy vest for the holidays. I'll be all over it!
Wow! SO cute! You've got some serious talent! Those dresses are amazing. And I totally thought those lips were so darn cute too before I even read what you wrote. I can't believe how big she's getting. P.S. Love the new blog look.
ReplyDeleteSeriously AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL Dresses! I am going to buy one of your dresses if I get to have a little girl one day! You are so talented. I love the hat and boots that Dru was wearing with the first dress. It gave it just the right touch and the second dress is simply GORGEOUS!!!
