Here is another dress I made for Eesa for Christmas 2016. I found this plaid green and red fabric at the thrift store about a year ago. I saw it and knew I needed it and exactly what I wanted to do with it! It was just perfect for a Christmas dress--the right colors and just the right amount of shine!
I made Elisa a knee-length dress. Even though I didn't have the pattern (yet) I modeled it after Violette Field Thread's Pepper dress pattern, using the same free bodice pattern I had for a couple of other projects. I just WISH there would have been more fabric so the dress could have a fuller skirt! I think there was only about a yard or fabric. That's the trouble with buying fabric from the thrift store. Still, it turned out adorable! She wore it with some white knee-highs and black ankle boots, so more of a casual look. So cute. I paid not much more than $1 for this, not bad!! I don't have a picture of her wearing it, but here are a couple of pictures.
Such a cute tailored look with the white collar and white trim!
