Cutest Baby Dress Ever!

When I came across the Criss Cross Dress Tutorial over at Melly Sews, I immediately fell in love with it and knew I had to make one. Look how adorable this is:

Did I have a baby girl to make this for? Nope. Did I make one anyway? Yep!!

It really is an easy dress to sew, and doesn't it look so sweet on Melly's model?

I loved the seersucker fabric she used, so I followed suit. I appliqued a flower on the front of my dress.


As it turns out, a friend of my sister just had a baby, so I will gift it to her!

You can make the ruffly bloomers to match, and I will admit they were a bit of a challenge for this newbie sewer, but I think they came out alright. There is a link to her post on how to make them at the bottom of the post for the dress. 


Here is the front of the dress:


and here is the back:


Love, love, love it! Thanks so much Melly for such a wonderful and easy tutorial.

Hi Sandy, glad to see you back on a regular basis again. I too have been falling behind on my posts the last few months... sometimes we just have other stuff going on :-). This outfit is sooooo adorable. You did a great job as always.
