A dress for a little girl

I really enjoy making things for other people. Sometimes I find it much more difficult to launch into a project for myself than to begin something for a friend or family member. In a moment of inspiration I decided to make this dress for my friend's little girl. I don't get to see my friend or this little girl nearly as much as I'd like but I get regular updates in the form of photos and videos and this keeps me in the loop.

This little girl will soon be welcoming a new family member and I thought it might be nice to deliver a gift to her around this time. No doubt life will be focused on the new little one (how can it not...) for the first couple of weeks and maybe this will remind her that she's still the first and still super special.

I tried to add a few special details to this dress, which include a decorative hem and rickrack ribbon added to the sleeves. The dress is inspired by the beautiful items in the mette store on etsy. Yes, go there now and drool. Beautiful, simple dresses and other delightful things.
