When I found this fabric, I could picture the finished dress. I stacked the bolts of fabric one on top of the other and ran my hands over their buttery yellow gorgeousness. A perfect blend of yellow and apricot. The ruffles would be so beautiful, I knew. An older lady in the aisle beside me said, “I don’t know what you’re making, but whatever it is, it will be stunning.” I liked the affirmation.
The finished dress makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. It’s soothing and delicious and the copious layers of ruffles are just…just…yummy. I picture the little girl wearing this dress. I picture her sitting in a field of wildflowers in the late afternoon sunshine, plucking the blossoms from their stems, playing with her shadow, twirling happy circles in the sun. I had wanted to create the scene from the image in my head, and photograph a girl and some ruffles and some sunshine, but the dress has been finished for months and the stage has yet to be set. So, let’s just picture it.

You make the most beautiful dresses. I have to say though, this one sings to me! I love yellow and apricot. They were actually my wedding colors! 😉

I totally have the image in my head now. I kinda want that dress for myself. but I look terrible in yellow. As much as I love all things pink, it’s nice to see such a cute dress in another color. Great job Stef!
