I have been so inspired by vintage photos of women and girls in pinafores lately. This is reflected in the dresses I have been coming up with. As with most every piece of clothing I make, no pattern is used. I make it up as I go along but if I like what I make then I do make a pattern so I can recreate it should I want to.
Three different dresses for three different girls made from three same fabrics to celebrate our countries birth.
Livie’s pinafore is lined and the white bllomers have a blue pleated ruffle at the bottom. The waistband is a grosgrain ribbon symbolizing the stripes and the blue dotted symbolizes the stars.
Ronnie’s pinafore is criss crossed in the back, the skirt is lined and waist is made from grosgrain ribbon.
Erica got a skirt with cute over stitched pockets, drawstring waist and a super sweet eyelet lace slip underneath.
To complete the look I upgraded some store bought flip flops by taking off the tacky and adding some cute rick rack. Is there anything that does not look cuter with rick rack?
