The dress was just that. EASY! The whole thing whipped together in about 2 hours. Which is perfect. I have made peasant dresses in the past but only by figuring out all the cuts and measurements each time, this pattern was so quick and so easy and now I have a go to pattern for sizes newborn to size 12! (so awesome) They make it soooo easy! The directions are quick and easy to follow and they share tons of ways to make your peasant dress (or top) unique.
Which is honestly the most fun! I used some plain white cotton that I painted with some fabric paint. It was a fun little design inspired by spring that makes the top unique for Abbey. I also added a little ribbon at the neck for an extra pop of color.
I liked the elastic bodice, only thing I “changed” is that I didn’t have elastic thread on hand so I just made a casing for some elastic at the waist. Super easy still and the same great result.
I just love everything about this pattern and Abbey loves having another care free summer dress to run around in.

Love the fun colors on your version! Elastic thread doesn't like me so I make casings too. 🙂 I'd love to try the kids' reversible jacket or the girls swing coat.

I have several of Whimsy Couture's patterns that I have not made yet…the criss cross tunic, the ladies peasant top, but now they have some new patterns that I would like to try. I like the skinny/flared capris/pants, the boys shorts…the sailor-looking ones would even work for my granddaughter. I am really excited about the Terrific T's for girls or boys…looks like it will go
lillizalou
I liked them, I thought I already did, but apparently not… I have bought lots of patterns from them already. Who doesn't love adorable patterns though?? My favorites that I have and don't have are… I love the Mommy and Me Pillowcase dresses, I have made those over and over, I love the overalls, and the ruffled neckline dress. 🙂
