No picture, but my mom is making C a dress/coat/bonnet from a pattern she found from the 60s. Its very simple and mod. It's blue linen with white.

I actually just purchased a pattern off Etsy for this dress so I'm going to pick up some fabric today and make her easter dress. I'm thinking violet or peach....something soft and pretty

@blackbird: love that! you did a great job. I'm inspired now.

@blackbird: wow! Adorable! I like yours better than the model.

Actually we have this dress, and it's hard to tell in the photos but those are little tiny pink bunnies, so she may wear that with a little cardigan and tights (because this is New England and it's still going to be cold).

@BoogieBea: @BoogieBea: @Pancakes: @Foodnerd81: thanks! I love those little bunnies, too! @photojane: it wasn't super hard! It's classified as an advanced beginner dress and I'd say that's accurate. Took me about 3 hours or so? I made two mistakes. The pattern I bought came with photo instructions but I felt they weren't as helpful as the words

@blackbird: Oh my gosh, I love it! I wish I had your talent!

@blackbird: I need to hire you to make R one!

@blackbird: That looks amazing!

I might have changed my mind on easter. I don't know anymore. Still not 100% positive little guy will be here by Easter so these might work better for summer. But they are pastels, so that equals easter right?

@anonysquire: those would totally work for Easter! I love that dress.

Here's DD's dress, but I'm afraid it'll be too short by easter because she's growing like a weed! She practically skipped 12 months clothes and is in 18 months now. The dress is 12-18 months so I'm crossing my fingers it will still fit by easter.

@anonysquire: Very cute! I have that dress for Alice for this summer and it's really adorable! But the real question is - what headband/bow/hat will Z wear with it?? Alice refuses all "hair" (she's mostly bald) accessories so I have to live vicariously through others.

@78h2o: @Smurfette: @blackbird: Thanks! I love them too. Old navy was having a great sale this last week so when I saw it I had to have it. Even if it just ends up being a summer dress

ok y'all, I love these dresses, but what are your little men wearing?!

@anonysquire: I just bought that ON dress for LO for Easter! I think she might need a sweater and tights though, with the way the weather's looking...

@Mrs. J I agree! What are the little dudes wearing? I don't have anything yet for our little guy and need some inspiration!

These are so cute! We don't go to church or anything, so I'm not sure why LO will need an Easter dress, but pretty sure I'll wind up buying her one every year anyway! Maybe we can make a habit of Spring pictures to justify it.

@Mrs. J: I wish I had something for my little boys already but I tend to get the outfits last minute because our Easter weather could be freezing or hot! ha!

I am really hoping it is warm this year so I can dress my boys in preppy shorts like previous years

These were from the past two years

@blackbird: you are amazing! I LOVE the back of that dress!!!
