Okay! Everyone look at me! (click) No! Look at ME! (click) Girls! (click) Say "Cheese!" (click) Say "Happy Birthday America!" (click) Show me the t-shirts! (click) No...look HERE! (click) Hold still! (click)(click)(click) ...Oh, forget it.
But months ago I saw this red, white and blue floral fabric and thought it would be perfect to make dresses.
Because there is always a lot of fun and activity on this holiday I wanted the girls to be comfortable so each of these dresses is made with a T-shirt top and a non-stretch, 100% cotton bottom. I hadn't tried this method before and it was a snap! I made all three dresses in about 2 hours. Nice!
Each dress had a different ruffle element, which the girls loved. Different, but matchy is big in this house. The ruffles were made from the bottom portion of each t-shirt which was cut off after sewing it to the skirt. Then I added a sash of red fabric covered in tiny white polka-dots. This is pretty much my favorite fabric ever....seriously I have about 10 yards of it. It's a sickness.
Ella got a large ruffle around the neckline. This was my Houdini move because the neckline of this shirt was all oddly flopsy and stretched out. The ruffles covered it perfectly.
Hope you have a great 4th of July!

So cute! And triple bonus is that they are all looking at the camera! Happy 4th!
ok how cute is Bianca? I mean all of them are, but I love babies gummy smiles! I think I have that same small red polka dot-from Joann's? I have a ton too and use it with everything! I wish I'd been on top of it this year and made them some outfits, but oh well! I love the different ruffles on each dress-perfect for sisters!
Oh my goodness. I LOVE these dresses. Such a good idea for Bianca's dress... I wanna try that for Brynlee. You're stinkin' amazing. :)
