Hi! I made something for my daughter for a change so thought I’d pop on and show you! I made it with the intention to sell the style, so I was allowed. ๐
It’s the Violette Field Threads new pattern – the London dress. I made the most of the couple of days of sunshine we had!!
I made it in a gorgeous Liberty of London cotton lawn that’s adorned with sweeties! So cute! I realised how apt it was to be making a London dress out of Liberty fabric afterwards. ๐
The dress features a ruffly hem but I left that out (who’s got time for all that ruffling haha… I’m really not a ruffles and frills person) and just added 3″ to the length of the skirt.
It’s got the teeniest bodice, a really full skirt, and tie-up straps. A quick and simple sew, with just a few techniques required – gathering, bias binding, and the usual seams and hem!
In true matchy matchy Pink Bobbins style, I made a matching bow hairband, and it’s safe to say little A loves the outfit and wants to wear it ALL THE TIME!! ๐
Can you blame her? Just look at the spin effect!
I totally recommend this pattern, it’s brilliantly written and the outcome is just so gorgeous.
Of course if you don’t want to make your own you can always by mine at Pink Bobbins. ๐

You mean you don’t try all your patterns out on your daughters first? No wonder she loves it – although I’m a ruffles type person myself, the frillier the better:)
