Perfection (as usual) <3
I'm a huge fan of Children's Corner patterns and one of the features I love the most is the fact that you can actually interchange so many of their pattern pieces (best idea ever).
One of my favorites: Adelaide dress with Ruthie's sleeves. Absolutely darling 😉
Before posting this, our comment was: “Ana Sofia will probably like it!!” We always love seeing what you make with Children’s Corner Patterns….and, we’ll have to try an Adelaide and Ruthie combination soon.
We love it when the Frances Suzanne ladies walk through our doors. Beautiful job with your creation. No doubt aqua is her color!
We really can’t rave enough about you ladies or your store….and look forward to our visits there.
this dress is so lovely! I was so excited to learn about Children’s Corner Patterns and just completed my first Adelaide dress. Sort of off topic but where does your sister get those double strap shoes? They are so classic and wouild love to find them for my 4 year old.
Oh, we are so glad you’ve discovered Children’s Corner Patterns!! Here’s a link to the shoes from the store {If the Shoe Fits} that we order from: http://www.iftheshoefitsetc.com/Infant-Toddler/Infant-Boys-Girls-Classics/Footmates-English-Sandal-White-Danielle-p28.html
Fantastic – thank you so much for the link to the shoes, so hard to find the classics, they even com in navy and red!! And as for the patterns, I have to say between the styles, the collar tutorial and the great instructions these are my new go to patterns – I just wish I could keep my daughter small for a little longer!
Love Children’s Corner! I used Carol for my 2 year old daughter’s Christmas dresses and Virginia for her Easter dress. Love the versatility of all of their patterns!
We weren’t familiar with Virginia until recently…..but, are oh so glad we found it!!
What a great looking dress on a beautiful EA.
I also love the pleats – so classic. I’ve always loved that you can swap the collars and sleeves on the CC patterns. They have always been my “go to” patterns for their excellent draft & fit. I could count on the correct sizing with these patterns and still do. Great post!
Thanks Kathy! We wish we could change gathers to pleats with a bit more ease than we did with this dress, but are trying to remind ourselves that “practice makes perfect” {or at least closer to perfect :)}.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Children’s Corner patterns, but I’ll admit I haven’t had a chance to use them yet.
I like the switch from gathers to pleats, and those floral accents are lovely!
Thanks Charity!! You would like Children’s Corner patterns – they have some really sweet dress patterns!!
NOT NESTED?! Where have these patterns been all my life?! Thank you FrancesSuzanne for the tip, I am going to check them out.
What a sweet mix <3 I too prefer pleats and pintucks to gathers.
Yes, yes, and yes! This outfit is one of our favorites . . .of the dresses sewn to date.
