……..She wore a Raspberry beret sorbet…..(now you are going to be singing that song all day too.) Good ole’ 80’s Prince.
Because I always have to include a vintage pattern into my look-books, this dress is the vintage-goodness for this Spring. It is made from this pattern and was not changed a bit (so unlike me at times).
I fell in love with the asymmetrical bodice the minute I saw the pattern and have been saving it until it would fit. I can see a lot more of these dresses in the future….they are so cute on. And a version without the collar I think will be just as darling. See I am already thinking of another version….and maybe even one with more asymmetric lines. Wouldn’t that be cute?
One story for the day. I have been waiting to photograph all the looks for about a week now and unfortunately our weather has just NOT been cooperating.
So last night right when there was a break in the clouds I made Hannie drive around with me to snap a couple of pictures to show you. And then rains came pouring down……
So we got a total of 4 pictures and I had to make them work.
Hopefully we get some good weather today….we still have 4 outfits to photograph!!!!
Happy Tuesday everyone!!!
Do you have Spring weather where you are? {If you do, please, please, please send some our way!}

Tamara Oster says
I love this….I want one too – anything asymetrical catches my eye! You also have a beautiful young model!
Charity says
So darling! Love the pattern and the color is so fun and springy! =)
Al Shaffer says
It is soooo sweet! I love the asymmetrical bodice and the covered buttons on it. There are some really great vintage patterns out there. I need to start using them more because they have so much skill and detail than the newer patterns do. Great job as usual.
Emily says
Oh so gorgeous! I want one in my size. 🙂 Hope the weather decides to cooperate. 🙂
Suzanne Winter says
I ‘think’ spring might finally be here, but it has still be pretty rain which is making it harder than I would like to photograph all the awesome patterns I have been testing and baby girl’s first birthday dress ;op
I love the color of this and the lines – soooo sooooo sweet!
LolaJoo says

Falafel and the Bee says
That dress is beautiful! You did a fabulous job and your daughter looks so sweet in it!
amy mayen says
I love it! I want to be nosy and ask what kind of fabric you used (it’s beautiful!) and if there’s any underskirts involved to get that much fullness…it hangs just right!
Gina says
So pretty!! I love everything about it, the style and the color.
Jessica at Me Sew Crazy says
This is such a great dress, I am dying over that color!!!
Simple Simon & Co says
There is a pettislip under it. The fabric is a twill, thoug, so it does hold the fullness of the gathers pretty well.
