The Kadance, The Dress & The Dress Form

Last week I had gotten a order for a uni-sex burp cloth, the parents want to be surprised. I found some super soft giraffe patterned fabric and multi colored polka dot fabric, I purchased both, even though I have a lot of fabric at home, I don't have any that would be good for uni-sex. While I was sewing the burp cloths I glanced over at all my other fabric and thought.....why don't I try to make another dress?!?!??!! I had made Kadance's baptism dress last October and thankfully it turned out exactly how I had envisioned it, plus I managed to not use a patterned. After I finished up the last burp cloth, I took the remainder of the giraffe fabric and started to measure and drape for a dress! I decided to kinda make it like those pillow dresses you keep seeing all over pinterest.
This was the ending result

I liked how the giraffe dress turned out, that the next day I made another out of some cute paisley flower material. I made it a little longer, more A frame shaped and did one bow instead of two. Kadance of course was my model again, but first I took some pictures with the dress on a kids dress form I bought at a local yard sale. Kadance wouldn't take pictures without the dress form in the shot.....she kinda loves the little torso LOL.



Oh I did get one with just her....yea the back of her LOL
