Here are a couple dresses I made for my niece Gigi and my (not-yet-here) niece (which I’ll call) “Kiki.” My sister snapped a few photos of Gigi in the dresses. (The dress sizes are 12mos and 6mos, so they are a bit big on Gigi.)
I used Burdastyle’s Baby Pattern #147 Dress 9/2013 for the dresses.
The beautiful floral print dress is for Kiki. I absolutely love this dress! This design not only fits my style, but it also reminds me of my older sister and the housecoat I made her for her bridal shower gift. Also, the illustrated flowers look like they could’ve been drawn by my older sister!
Gigi’s dress is the red, black, and white kitty cat dress. If you knew my sister (Gigi’s mother) when she was younger (or even as an adult), you know that this cotton fabric print is perfect for Gigi!
I was hoping to whip these dresses up in no time, but they took more time than I expected! It’s a bit more difficult to sew tiny set-in sleeves and machine finish hems. Because of this, the dresses required a lot of hand stitching and basting.
I’ll post Kiki’s baptismal dress after her baptism next year!
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Thanks for reading!
Please keep my older sister and “Kiki” in your prayers!
