We have a little treat for you today! Peek-a-boo pattern shop, an adorable shop loaded with super cute patterns is taking a tour around blog land.
Choosing a pattern to make was the hardest part since there are SO many awesome patterns to choose from. However my little brother is getting married this weekend, so I knew I needed to make Abbey a dress for the wedding, I wanted something that was casual in style but that would have that "fancy" pop just by using fancy fabric. So the
Natalie Dress Pattern was perfect. The tee shirt top kept it from getting so fancy she would never wear it again but I used silk for the bottom and added some length so it was longer and more elegant.
The
pattern is great and walks you through making your own tee shirt top even, however I had to match the black from my dress for Abbey and matching black in knits was harder than I thought, however Abbey had the perfect tee that even had the bling at the neck so I simply chopped it off and used the tee instead. It made an already easy
pattern so much easier. I also added pockets for my pocket loving girl, by
simply adding an inseam pocket.
I love the pleated skirt which I did as box pleats instead of pleats that all go the same way, just because to me box pleats make it a little more fancy. I also added a ribbon belt instead of the sash which for the wedding will be made with a purple flower but I haven't made that yet so I used the
belt from this top.
Now Abbey is all dressed and ready to impress at the wedding. Plus the dress is purple... her favorite.
