I think it looks really pretty, and so comfy on a hot summer's day too – I've got that pattern in my stash but not made it yet, time to get cracking before the girls grow out of the pattern range!
Joy Kincaid says
Thank you, Carie! I know, I made the 12, which is the largest size, for my 9-year-old! They do grow out of the sizes quickly!
Zena says
I love this dress so much. You've done a wonderful job. Also the fabric and chambray colours are very in now. When I a better sewer I will make one for my nieces.
Joy Kincaid says
That's very kind of you–thank you!
Bibi B says
This dress is adorable! You did a great job!
Isn't it funny how we store fabric for several years and then all of a sudden find a use for it? 🙂 I love sowing!!
Joy Kincaid says
Thank you! Yes, it's strange about storing fabric. I seem to have done that a lot in the past. Now I'm on a mission to use it up! 🙂
Kim says
What a sweet dress. I would love to be able to make clothes!
Joy Kincaid says
Thank you, Kim!
Jennifer A says
Oh I love it! I love simple lines like that, and so does my daughter. You did some beautiful work, I love the pocket detail. It would make a sweet little tunic top too.
Joy Kincaid says
Thanks, Jennifer! I'm seriously considering making the tunic option. 🙂
LB Present says
What a simple and cute dress. I love the little accents on the pockets and the small heart buttons! 🙂
Joy Kincaid says
Thank you! 🙂
Jeanna says
It is a very cute dress–with a very pretty girl wearing it. Very well constructed. Love the work.
Joy Kincaid says
Thanks, Jeanna!

Hello Joy
I always enjoy seeing your sewing creations
I quite like the dress and the fabric has a nice vintage feel- You may like to try the main part of the dress all in one fabric and just the top and pockets in the plain or a contrast fabric-also a shorter version could be made in to a smock top to go with leggings
Your lovely little Model looks sweet and happy in her new dress which looks very comfortable

Joy Kincaid says
Thank you, Fiona! That's a good idea about fabric placement. The pattern does include a top version, so that's another option to consider. I'm envisioning a cute smock top with leggings for autumn. Wouldn't that be cute?! 🙂
Bevy @ Treasured Up and Pondered says
I think it's darling!!
You sound like me with patterns these days. Perhaps that's why – I don't use them so much anymore. I really should get back into making actual dresses instead of settling for simple skirts. 🙂
Blessings on your day!
Joy Kincaid says
Thank you, Bevy! I understand, skirts are so much quicker! I just made a different dress yesterday, and it was *almost* as fast as a skirt! It's a peasant-style dress, and it goes together very quickly. I love that kind of sewing. 🙂
Blessings to you!
