I have all kinds of dreams for this dress. I have read through all the instructions carefully and I really think it's the best pattern out there for a little girl's fancy dress. Obviously, it can be nice for casual things too, and's it's definitely a plus to have versitility built in. I've got visions of linens and silks dancing in my head!
My very first (squee!) client has chosen an Anna Maria voile from my stash for her holiday dress. She wants no collar or sleeves, though her mother and I think sleeves would be best, she held firm. I do love a girl who knows her mind! We've decided on a bow in a soft pink to coordinate with the dress as well as pink lining to really make the pink in this semi-sheer fabric pop. At first I thought of a cotton silk blend for the bow, so it's nicely shiny, but now I'm thinking I'd get a very professional match if I used one of AMH's solid voiles for bow and lining, since her solids are coordinated with her prints. How does that sound to you?
and how do we feel about this dress in voile in general?
