AW: Gingerbread Dress PIP
The "original" has been pinned all over Pinterst, but at an asking price of $89--let's just say, I made it for a LOT less
Sorry, no model shots or blog post yet (my model is sleeping). Besides, she has not been the most cooperative lately. This is what happened the last time I tried to get her to model an outfit:

Anyhow, here is the gingerbread dress

She's such an adorable model, though.
Again, I am seriously impressed and in awe of your sewing skills.

Thanks y'all! I'm really pleased with how it came out and it was super easy to make--love how quickly peasants come together.

Ha- who is that non-LA child? She always smiles, so I know that one must be a faux-Lily. LOL!
I love the gingerbread dress so much! I've made three peasant dresses this week- but, I have a bunch of brown cord in my stash, and always have rick-rack around- so, I may just have to eke out one more!! So adorable.
Love the dress!
If it makes you feel any better, I get the same look from DH when I try to take his picture & he doesn't have the "terrible 2s" excuse..
