I am definitely going to be sad when I pack this dress up to be sent off. It is one of my favorites. I'd say packing the Trainstop Shirtdress was difficult but this one is going to be just as painful if not moreso. I think it's partly because I almost wish I had one in my size. If I had made a mother/daughter ensemble I'm sort of wishing this had been it. Que Sera.
I used a green broadcloth material with a crochet trim that runs throughout the dress. The green and crochet together reminded me of a garden. The dress itself looks like something one might wear to a garden party. It's just fancy enough to be something *not* worn everyday.
As for Lily, she enjoyed running at top speed through the rose bushes. She fell over a couple times and I had to kiss the booboos on her knees but otherwise, things were copacetic.
It fits Lily to a tee! So if you have a daughter who has no more than a 21.5 waist, it should be fine.
AND, if the winning post also leaves a comment I will include the matching double banded hair band.
Thanks to everyone who gave me some spandex advice! I had never heard of a stretch needle before so the next time I take on another spandex snafu I will look into it. I'm pretty excited to see how it works so I might just be inspired to give it another go. *Might*
Last day for posts is Saturday 8/23/08. Winner will be announced Monday morning!
As usual, if you would like a chance to win this dress just link back to this post. If you have any questions see the "questions and answers" link to the right. If you use blogger just use the "create a link" link at the bottom of this post. If you don't use blogger, that's fine too. Just create a link on your page as you normally would and I will see it using Technorati.

Oh my heck! I am addicted to your blog! I love your fashion creations. You are extremely talented! I hope i win someday! I will not give up!
I love this dress. I think you are amazing. I have my fingers crossed
Very cute. I love to admire your creations. You have inspired me to start sewing dresses for my daughter! You are also a very talented photographer. I hope I win so that I can admire it up close!
This is SO cute!
linking now...since i just had a baby girl, your clothes are even more exciting for me.
I just found your blog last week. Hoping for beginner's luck! I would take such good care of your lovely creation. And my two little girls would look ADORABLE in it.
I have fallen in love. I love this dress. I also wish I could have one in my size. You have amazing talent. I linked to brandonandtassi.blogspot.com
Totally cute. I only wish I had a little girl. Nieces are good too, right?
So I looked through the Q&A and couldn't find the answers to these questions.
Why oh why do you make such cute things and just give them away? Doesn't it break your heart every time?! (I guess this is one in particular you are sad to see go.)
What inspired you to start this blog? Do you have time to sew a lot of things that you don't give away? And lastly, how do you have time with 2 little ones to both sew AND design(!) these cute little outfits every week?
goodness! THis has to be the custest dress ever. perfect color green. I am in love!!!
I love the lace and the style of the dress..when are you going to sell your patterns or designs?
Oh my little toddler would love this. So so lovely.
I love it!!! So so cute! Good job, your talented!
Your clothes are always so beautiful. I wish I was as talented as you. But since I am not. I guess I have to jsut keep entering until I win one of these amazing creations.
I LOVE your blog. I have 2 girls & do some sewing, but you seem to have some vision that I don't. Keep it up you inspire us all!
My SIL sent me the link to your blog last week, raving about your clothing. She was right. Your work is amazing. And your daughter is the perfect model.
Also, she was wondering if I knew you because you attend Hershey MOPS. Although I don't attend that MOPS, I live in Mechanicsburg and have several friends who attend the Hershey one. Small world.
Beautiful! Beautiful!
You are so talented! Beautiful.
This dress is so cute! I love the color!
Love it! Love the green! It would look so pretty on my little redheaded grandaughter!! Thanks for the chance to win.
I think this is my favorite creation of yours so far! I hope I win!!!
I just found your blog and I am so inspired and impressed! I hope I win!
Blogged ya! http://snapshotsandpieces.blogspot.com/
I love this dress. It's beautiful and slightly more fancy than an everyday dress, yet it also looks comfy and durable.
You absolutely kill me everytime you make a new dress... this is gorgeous!!!
So Cute. I love that shade of green! Thanks!!!
LOVE this sweet little dress! I bloged about it :o) Here's to hoping.

WOW! I have been watching and waiting for my "dream" outfit to enter for and this is it. The color and everything about it is beautiful!
I'm in. A darling dress for my darling daughter!
My sister just showed me your blog for the first time today and I am SO impressed. You have an amazing talent, not only for your ability to design and sew, but also for your beautiful pictures you take of your adorable daughter. I am very into photography and have loved even just looking at all the pictures. I also wondered, how you can possibly put such work into your beautiful creations every week, just to give them away. You are too kind and I just wondered what you get out of it. I'd love a response. :) Keep up your amazing talent.
what a precious dress - you are so creative, and i can't wait to put one of your beautiful designs on my daughter, myrt...she is only 4 months now but would be in this dress in no time! thanks for your creativity - it is amazing!
I wish I had your talent!! Another amazing creation. Thank you so much! Crossing my fingers!
Okay once again, gorgeous. Green is beautiful on your daughter. This dress is completly adorable. I hope I can win it for my girl.

That is the cutest dress I have ever seen! You are amazing! My daughter would be so adorable in that!!!

This is amazing. I love love it!
so, I'm a total loser and I'm also completely "technically challenged" and couldn't figure out how enter your giveaway...maybe leaving a comment worked??? I won't hold my breath...but I will keep trying...
Love the green and all the trim!
Alright, so I posted this on all 3 of my websites... I love this dress that much!!! This is my VERY favorite out of all of them!! I know this is like my ten billionth time entering, but I won't stop until I win!!!!
This is my favorite too! Green is my favorite color! Make an army of them and they'd be gone in a flash! I'm all linked up!
I think your site is the only one I get butterflies going to!! I will keep trying to win, though, this dress would be delightful on my daughter. (as it would all little girls!)
However, where did you get that butterfly necklace? I'd love it with the dress!
I also linked ya!
This certainly is a lovely piece that's hard to part with! Blogged!

I am humbled, most of the time, but never more so than when I stumbled upon Grosgrain. Amazing. I wish I could win the lottery - the grosgrain lottery - if you know what I mean.
Pick me. Pick me.
The green is just beautiful. It would look fantastic on my daughter with her coloring. Love it!
I love this dress! It is so sweet!
I love the green! And I love how the trim just adds the perfect amount of girly-ness.
Seeing your new creations gives me needed smiles every week. :)
I have linked you!!! Yay.... so cute and the dress is adorable too. I hope we win so I don't have to make one for little miss' birthday. Hee hee. How do you just come up with these gorg designs???
This is the cutest. I absolutely adore this little number. Please add me to the drawing. My little Zoe would look so cute running around in this dress.
I love that dress, I posted about it hoping my daughter could get it for her birthday that is soon, which we will be having a garden party for! I want to know how to sew like that so bad. Awesome job.
so so gorgeous...how talented you are!! crossing my fingers!!
I have never had any interest in sewing (why sew something when I can buy it ...) but after looking at your blog I want to start sewing, like RIGHT NOW! So so adorable, I'm just dying over all the girlie cuteness! I'm so inspired, though I know it will probably take years to sew something even half as cute as your stuff! So beautiful!
sew nice! sew cuuuuuuuuuuute! i love it! hope i win!
Darling!

I LOVE this and would be so happy to see it on my little lady!
I just stumbled upon your blog and I am loving it! What a great idea. I have a friend who is very good at sewing and makes fabulous aprons, but she too thinks it wouldn't be very cost productive to sell them. I'm not sure how this works, but I put a link and I am crossing my fingers. Thanks for your consideration!!!!

Let me start by saying I really love this shade of green. The dress itself is adorable and love the butterfly necklace that you accessorized it with...perfect.
I created a link...my very first so I'm not real familiar with how that works. Just getting into the idea of blogging myself. Although mine will probably take on political issues tone since I'm becoming more aware of children's issues that are not being addressing by our government.
i'd love a chance to win, but I don't have a blog! Can I be entered it the drawing too?
BrittnieHomstad@yahoo.com
