Tiger Sundress
I recently finished a crossover back sundress for Zerah. I went to Auburn University so Zerah has to have some Auburn inspired clothes! This little dress has tiger faces all over to be like Aubie! It is a 12 month pattern, and she is a small almost 9 month, so it is a little big right now. It should be about perfect when football season starts.
One of my favorite design elements of this dress is the crossover back. Isn't it cute? I added ruffles all along the edge using my ruffler foot which is such an awesome tool. If you don't have one and want to make ruffles, I highly encourage you to pick one up. It makes it so easy!
I topstitched around the bodice and skirt as well.
I have played with the idea of opening an etsy shop and selling dresses. I am going to open one up soon, as soon as I can build up some inventory. It wouldn't be much of a shop if it only had one dress.:)
I will be offering these dresses for sale in my shop when it opens, or you can contact me to set up a custom order beforehand. I can currently make these in Size 1 or 2 in this fabric. If you would prefer a different fabric, let me know and we can set something up.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!
Awesome job! Bet you get lots of orders from your Etsy shop!
ReplyDeleteI love this dress. Did you create this pattern or does someone have it for sale? I remember being 3 or 4 in the early 70's and I had a crossover dress like this that was white with little blue apples on it.
ReplyDeleteI have a niece who is a size 5, so maybe I'll be visiting your etsy store. :)
Your topstitching is beautiful! I have one of those ruffling feet, too - a suggestions from your mother's friend, Kathy, that lives in Florida. It IS awesome. I think some little matching panties would be cute with that dress, Audrey. Do u have a pattern for those?
