In my Easter bonnet

Got the dresses done this weekend! Here they are.
For Maddy's dress. It's a strapless lined dress with a pleated bodice and ruffled cummerbund waist. She picked out a sweater that she termed as a "granny" sweater and I serged the edges of it into a shrug for a younger look.For Meri's dress. Lined, side zipper, pleated sleeves. I feel I should've made this a little more fitted, but she really likes it.

I never would have though of altering a sweater that way. Great idea! Looks great.

I bow down to you and your sewing talents. the second outfit is very Renaissance-y which reminds me to have VC try on his Renaissance vest *fingers crossed that it still fits*

I use to make dresses for my girls for Easter and Christmas. Then life got busy.

Nice job!

The girls are super cute and I'm just amazed at you! I have to fix one of Anna's jackets and it has me worried. And that is just a few stitches!

Sew nice! ;-)
What is the fabric on Maddy's bodice?
The sleeve treatment is so cool on Meri's dress...r u sure you didn't tweak that?

I am envious that you have 2 girls that let you sew for them! I use to sew matching outfits for mine when they were very little...but it's hard to get the boys to wear easter egg fabric pants or vests at their ages now.lol I use to make my daughter dresses but she decided to stop wearing them when she turned 4. ugh
