WT153 The Height Of Fashion Challenge and VSN warmup and the April WT164 challenge (pleats)
Just stumbled across this warm up challenge (VSN) and it reminded me of a story my mother told me. When she was pregnant with me and my twin brother, she was worried (of all things) that we would be ugly babies. So she shared her concerns with my father. "What if they are ugly" she asked him. And he replied with "We'll dress them fine!". I thought that was so funny. She made it a point to sew matching outfits for us. She would use the same fabrics and colors, but one would be a dress and one little shorts or overalls. Our baby outfits were not the typical baby onesies, etc.
My empire waste baby dress has TAC ladybug stamped images. STamped in black and colored in w/red marker. Cuttlebug white flowers. Scallop scissors for edge. Folded the gingham paper to give it dimension and the appearance of gathers.
The card is the shape of the dress, but you can't tell against the white background. The red ribbon straps float freely above the card base.

This is awesome...looks similar to a dress I made my daughter 2o plus years ago. Adorable pattern. Love the bright red ribbon and the black/white gingham. The ladybugs and flowers are perfect accents. You rock girl and so does the dress.
