I'm a last-minute person. Not on purpose... it just happens that way. So, Friday I got the Lil' Blue Boo Sienna Dress pattern and got right to work so I could submit something to the Lil' Blue Boo/Dharma Trading Design Challenge. Do ruffles count as embellishments? I hope so... I was in a hurry with ZERO time and with what I had on hand. If they don't, it was fun anyway! I love the dress. I made a 4T even though the munchkin is still in size 3T because I want to keep this one around until College Football season starts up again in the fall... :) I totally thought about stenciling the BYU Cougar fight song along the bottom... and then realized I'd be doing a LOT of cutting and opted not to. Maybe I'll add mini footballs to the hem later on. Or on the sleeves? Lots of possibilities here, people!
Dress Specs:
I used the Sienna Dress pattern with short sleeves and a wide contrast band on the bottom. The seam for the band is hidden behind three separate ruffles.
Cute, huh? I went to Goodwill on Saturday and picked up a few more t-shirts. I wonder where Ashley gets all those cool graphic t's. Honestly- everything at our goodwill was pretty L-A-M-E. Maybe I need to shop in Palm Desert?

I love it!!! Great job! Ashley's patterns are super fun, huh?
I love the ruffles. She will look so cute durning football season.
Cute! I actually finally got around to making my daughter a Sienna dress as well :) I think Ashley gets a lot of her graphic t's at Old Navy. I've also seen some really cute ones at WalMart for $5. The one I made was a total practice one-I plan to make another with NEW t's next time instead of my oh so old ones ;-) You did a great job!
