I recently made a dress for my friend Morgan’s baby girl, Darcy. It’s an Oliver + S pattern that is super cute: the Playdate Dress. I’m really sad that I didn’t get one made for Lillian (since the one I did make kinda flopped). I find it hard to get the yoke to work for the size that it says it is. For Darcy I made the yoke, and tried it on her before attaching to the dress. It was too small, so I made the next size up. That worked fine, except it was a little hard to attach to the dress. It’s probably just because I’m not an expert sewer, but I find these designer patterns hard to read at times. Anyway, check out how cute it turned out! It helps that the model is beautiful of course.


Amazingly enough, I found the fabric at Joann’s. I hardly ever find good clothing fabrics there. This was great, because Morgan definitely prefers bright colors for her girls rather than your normal pastels. I did sneak a little pastel in though.
For an extra homemade touch I added some embroidery to the yoke. I haven’t done much embroidery lately, so it was sort of nice although time consuming!
I love the little puffy sleeves and there’s a cute dart in the front that you can sort of see in the pics. Nice details in this pattern!
Miss you Morgan! =(





Beautiful! She is so sweet.
