Thanks very much, I love it too! Love Chris

Absolutely gorgeous Chris, I love everything about it, you have done a great job, the little ones will look so cute.

When I was a high school (many yrs ago) our sewing teacher had us make something out of tulle, we used tissue paper when sewing the seams.... then tear the paper away once we sewed the seam, it worked well, I did the same when I sewed on chiffon when I made my wedding dress. Hugs Trish

Hi Vicki, it's going to be a challenge that's for sure. Amy wants it in a creamy lace with some form of tulle underlay for a petticoat! I'm sure it will turn out beautifully. Love Chris P.S. Have never sewn with Tulle!!!

What a pretty little dress Chris!! You've done a great job of it.

I am a sucker for sashes, the bigger the bow the better. I do so love this Chris. Looks like so many my girls have had in past except with a higher back in them. How pretty it is/Lillian

wow that is a very expensive pattern! What a good thing you will get many uses out of it

by pennifold 17 Nov 2015

Thanks Loralye, yes we pay a lot over here for patterns. Love Chris

Beautiful! My sister made Kate a dress as a practice run for a bridesmaid's dress. It was in cotton print and she wore it out. She only wore the bridesmaid's dress once so I think there might be a lesson to be learned there!

Yes, Sue I know what you mean. It's a pity but I don't think the girls will wear the flower-girl dresses that much. As you can see though the pattern will come in handy for some lovely cotton fabrics etc. Love Chris

just beautiful and cute love it

You have made such a pretty dress, I do like the hem treatment adds that bit of pizazz. Did you make dolly one too..

Thanks Marian, no the girls don't have dolls! They have stuffed animals like Tigers and Dogs etc. Love Chris

Chris the trial dress is gorgeous, the girls are going to look so grown up in cream lace. Can't wait to see the final finished dresses, i am sure they will be just superb. Sandra.

Thanks so much, love Chris

Just saw this pattern at our sewing and craft expo in Puyallup WA and 2 versions of the dress. One like yours and one with a layer of 2 pale blue chiffon overskirts. A little girl's dream. You did great work

That would be beautiful with the layers of chiffon!

by pennifold 17 Nov 2015

Thanks Deanna, I'd love to have seen that. I know once we make the flowergirl dresses we'll be having something to make it stand out. Love Chris

It's so lovely! They will feel so special and grown up in these dresses.

Thanks Jerrilyn, Ophelie can't wait, but Delphi isn't really aware of all the fuss yet. Love Chris

Oh, so grown up.

Thanks Betsey, I think so too. Love Chris

These are darling dresses and this pattern will look so different with the lace material. The hem treatment really brings your dresses up to a higher level, very beautiful and the girls will love wearing these special dresses.Glad you are doing a test run as time does move so quickly and those days just prior to the wedding are going to be hectic enough without worrying about fittings etc. April will be here before you know it. I hope that most of the wedding details can be done ahead of time, so that you can enjoy the time and help in the other last minute details that always seem to happen at weddings. Thank you for sharing these with us! The dresses are beautiful! Pam

Thanks Pam, you are right. I can't believe how fast this year has gone already. Love Chris

It is adorable. The ruffle is perfectly spaced.

Thanks Angie, me too! Love Chris

Chris, this dress is prettier than the dress on the pattern envelope! Delphi is right, of course, it is gorgeous! I had a pale pink one, with the back out like this, when I was a teen. Of course, it was a hand-me-down, and for once I didn't resent being the last child.-lol-I loved it. Made me feel special. I'm sure the dress for the wedding will be beautiful, too.

Thanks Toogie. I had a dress when I was young and I still can remember it. My Nanna made it for me, it was white voile fabric with little red flocking all over it. I wore it for a couple of years (under 10 years). Love Chris

This is just so sweet. Love the colours of the fabric and the hem treatment really adds to the finishing touches.

Thanks so much Fatima. I can't wait to find some lovely fabric for the flowergirl dresses. We only have 5 months till the wedding and as you know time is moving so fast these days! Luckily this dress can be made in a day if needed! Love Chris

this dress is stunning and will be beautiful for the wedding... great job and what is the pattern you used.

Thanks so much Kathy - I've just added the pattern so you can see the design. We have to pay a lot for patterns here in Australia - as you can see this one was $17.80! Love Chris

by asterixsew 12 Nov 2015

Its a similar price to UK patterns

by pacmp 12 Nov 2015

OUCH! ! $17.80! I squirm and wait for sales or look on eBay if it gets even close to $10. I think we must be spoiled as the patterns here, do say the high price but they always have 50% off sales or even more off than even that. I am so sorry you have to pay those types of prices. ((Hugs of sympathy)) Pam

That is a very cute pattern for a flowergirl. They will be GORGEOUS in creamy colour.
