Need outfit fabric help PIP

I am making the birthday outfits for the girls.  We are having a butterfly theme.  The outfit will be a skirt, a matching shirt, matching birthday hat, matching hair bow.  Cora will be 2, Elsie will be 1.

 The first pic is basically what I am doing, but doing something like the second pic for the shirt.  The shirt may be white, or pink - not sure

So, I found the cutest butterfly fabric.  It actually came as a pre-cut set with another fabric.  So, my question is - do I use the butterfly fabric with the yellow polka dots (came together, the yellow is the same as some of the wings)  OR should I use another polka dot fabric.

Here are the pics

If I use the yellow - should I make one with just polka dots?  like this?

SHould I scrap the polka dots and go with a "solid" color, different for each girl?

Omg - too many choices

  • I like the double polka dots the best, but I think you're good no matter which direction you go.

    I like the butterfly fabric with the yellow polka dots. The butterfly fabric is suttle with it's "butterfly-ness" but it will look nice when tied into the top, which will have a butterfly on it right? It's a nice contrast of colors and pattern.

  • #2 and #3 are my choices.  #1 doesn't have enough contrast IMO--the two fabrics blend too well.  Can't wait to see :)

  • I like 3 the best. I agree that 1 doesn't have enough contrast.
