AW: The dress ETA: in action shot

This dress has been a ridiculous project, with a time shortage on my side and my MIL buying the fabric for me.  It's made of cotton sateen with lycra. It wasn't as hard to sew as I expected.  And I learned French seams.

I still need to make a little petticoat to go under it per my MIL.  I'm really hoping it fits L.

When she wakes up and is clean, I'll take a pic of her in it.

Do you think it's too long?

  • very cute! and no, i don't think its too long!
  • Cute. I don't think it is too long.

  • Looks great on! If she walks all the time, no kids so I can't judge age by the picture, then length is good. I would only worry if she would be crawling. It might allow for longer use of the dress and she grows.

    She only crawls when she's gotten the floor all wet playing in the dog bowl, so I think you're probably right.  Thanks!

  • Very nice! The dress looks like the right length to me. :) She will be able to wear it for a year. Which is always awesome.

    LMAO! by the looks of your dogs, I don't think she's the only one getting the floor wet!(lol) My Akita leaves a river of slobber from his bowl, I can only imagine what GPs and Nufies do.

    the dress is adorable! looks like the right length.

  • It looks great, I don't think it's too long at all. She's so beautiful!

  • If you do shorten it, don't cut off the excess length. Go with deep pintucks that will allow you to let it out as she grows.

    I wouldn't do a petticoat unless you shorten it.
