Creating The Mommy and Me outfit was a lot of fun. Trying out pintucks, working with silk, embellishing socks, and spray painting shoes were all new for me and it was really satisfying to have the opportunity to try these things that I’ve been thinking about for a while.
Please, please, please head over to Project Run and Play and check out all the outfits for the Junebug Dress Remix. Then you can VOTE for your favorite (I hope it’s me!! but the competition is certainly fierce)! Voting is only open through Sunday, so please check it out soon! Thank you so much!
p.s. I hope I get to show you what I’m working on for next week – did you see the theme? It’s BOY week – and yes, this inspired girl is doing BOY!!

I love it Stef! I knew whatever you came up with would be cute but man girl, you totally blew me away! I’m in love with that dress. The pictures you got were fabulous. Isn’t nice to have a helpful hubby around? I voted & am looking forward to seeing your BOY project.

Love it! So very cute! It feels old fashioned, but in a kind of modern way. Lovely.

I’m impressed with all the pieces you made, all the details in the accessories (the knee-high socks are just adorable!), & you spray painted the shoes !?!
You MUST post a tutorial on the doll dress ~ I so want to sew a matching doll dress for my daughter 🙂

Hi Stef!
Wow! I love it all… I just came back from voting. You have my vote.
Now keep fingers crossed.
I have to say though I fell in L O V E with the kneehighs!
So pretty! and girlish.
I thought I saw some with just the bow and thought ‘mmmm I can do that but you gave it a total lift and upstyled it with the lace. Too cute.
The silk is just…
The shoes… how smart to spray paint.
Love the covered buttons on the dress.
The whole picture…
You must be feeling totally inspired and energetic right now.

This dress is spectacular and so sweet! It alone just made me add this blog to my reader! I was coming over to PR&P to vote for another blog, but you are my winner for sure! LOVE IT!
Danielle says
Wow your dresses are beautiful. Silk is so tricky to work with (did the fraying drive you bonkers?). Gorgeous job!
