Here's Sophie "showing" me the smocked dress I made for this Christmas. I know it's not really holiday-ish at all, but it is a beautiful colored ballerina fabric, and the color has always been a favorite of mine for her to wear.
Mom: "Sophie, smile"
Sophie: ok, she lays down and faces the other direction. The fat fluffy cat is smiling.

Ok, this actually got Sophie to at least look my way. The lighting wasn't so good though.


Ah...alas, my sweet princess does look my way. No smiles, but a very sweet glance. My only regret with the dress is that I didn't leave another inch on the sleeve length. She'll need that next spring. The remainder of the dress fits her like a glove. Pretty amazing since I didn't really do any fittings short of making a quickie bodice sizer from muslin.

Beautiful dress and a beautiful little girl. I remember when I made dresses for my little girls....now they're both teenagers and I just hand over the credit card .... (sigh)
That turned out just darling!
What a precious dress for your sweet girl! And I don't think holiday dresses have to be specific to the holiday. This will look great at any fancy occasion.
