Dear Addison,
I’ve heard people suggest that the baby in the family gets the short end of the stick, sometimes. And I’m sure that you will feel you can relate to this at some point in your life. I must confess that I did not make your birthday invitations this year. I didn’t even get it together enough to send out an evite. I forgot to set out the potato chips at the party and I didn’t put your hat on your cute little head until after your candle was blown out. But I did make your party dress. And since it was my first “from-scratch” clothing project ever, I think it’s pretty special. And I hope you do, too.
By the way, you are gorgeous, and most of all . . . special.
Love,
Mom

Oh the dress is so adorable, as is the little girl it was made for. I love your combination, it is a little vintage and also fresh at the same time!

Found your link at Someday Crafts. That dress is B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. So is the baby wearing it! I think you just inspired another project for my baby girl. Thanks for sharing.

Dearest Stef, That dress is adorable and lovely and I love it very much but that darling baby makes it! It makes me ache to have another baby preferrably of the girl kind. They are too fun to play dress up with.

I LOVE this dress!! So adorable. Would you be able to explain how you altered the pattern? I’d be interested in getting the pattern, but making it the way you did. So cute! pfh04@msn.com – Heidi
