the first dress

gingham dress

.

.

In this dreamland of white balloons,
I prance around in my gingham dress.

When summer heat comes,
join me for a picnic of sandwiches and tea?

Until then, I will be waiting here in my land of white balloons.


This is the dress I made in class. My first ever! I hope you like it.

(I couldn’t have taken these photos without Rosalyn's help! We had fun!)

    I love gingham! I actually made a skirt out of some very similar (the same maybe?) fabric just a couple weeks ago.

    I thought this had to be a magazine shoot at first too! So lovely.

    Amazing! What a beautiful photoshoot!

    Did you get that fabric at the DFO? Upholstery weight? Because I'm pretty sure I made a tote out of it a couple of summers ago! (So funny)
