purple flounce
Got to show you this divine little top I happened across at a car boot last year. Hand made and fabulous...I have got to try and make one similar. I'm not very good at sussing out pattern pieces from made up clothes but I think it would be worth the brain strain. It's made of (I'm guessing) a light weight poly/cotton and it drapes so well and comes off the line with absolutely no creases. Maddie has really taken a shine to it too and my heart leapt when she chose it 2 days running. A very rare honour indeed.
Clothes pickiness has started, much to my dismay. At the moment it's absolutely no trousers... - so she can be 'spinderella' as she calls herself whilst twirling. Trousers, shorts or leggings cause a major freak out. You have no idea the tantrum I had on my hands after putting some beautiful cream linen trousers with this top. She wanted to wear it as a micro mini. I stuck my ground - but she removed them the minute we got back into the house.
Pretty! And a beautiful color.
On another note, how does she have such pretty hair? Velma's is all over the place and not nearly so long. It's getting chopped off as soon as we're at my mom's.

that is gorgeous! and my lucy is in the same phase. very picky about what she wears. she always wants to wear a princess dress (which can be as simple as a thrifted smocked dress).

What a pretty color on your daughter! The dress almost looks like Liberty of London fabric.
