Easter Dress

This was the first year I've made Leith's Easter dress. I'm really happy with how it looks., and I'll probably use the same pattern(s) again in a different fabric. It's a super cute spring/summer dress, and fits *really* well.

I used a couple of Ottobre patterns, the bodice of one and the skirt of another, both from the 3/2008 issue. The shrug is an Onion pattern [#20026]. *swoon* I totally heart the shrug! Have already made a couple more, with plans for others in different sizes. Hello Etsy!

Even managed to match up some of the plaids! The buttons are a pretty yellow that perfectly matches the stripes, too. And you can never go wrong with a wide, long ribbon at the waist.

A couple more pictures, and that's all. I promise!

Sarah thought I'd bought it at Von Maur. That makes me happy, actually, in two ways: that she thinks it's 'professional' and that she remembers how much I like to shop at Von Maur! lol
