I made and ice cream dress this week. The plan was for Baby E to have an Easter outfit to coordinate with Little Helper’s music class blouse and skirt. Since Baby E is almost 8 mo old and on the smaller side I thought that the 6-12 mo size was appropriate. Particularly since that is the smallest size that the pattern comes in.
Cute, right?
Since I finished it during her nap (except for the button, of course!) I had to put it on her as soon as she woke from her nap over the onesie that she was already wearing.
Not loving it. It looks kind of like a potato sack on her. It just seems a little big. And she has trouble crawling around in it. So when Little Helper got up from her nap, I decided to convince her to try it on. I gave her about an hour warning and had a surprising amount of success getting her to put it on and stand still for a photo.
And I think I like it better as a tunic. So there goes my coordinating Easter outfits.
I should have made a tea party dress.
thanks for commenting on my blog! if i can embroider, anyone can (i technically don’t even do it right, but i like the way it looks).
and thanks for your help on the oliver + s forum!
