Little Geranium dress in Liberty Tana Lawn

April 21, 2015

When I bought the fabric for Button’s recent blouse I was hopeful that I’d have enough for a little gift for Alice (who-isn’t-a-cat, but that seems a bit redundant these days) who was expecting a little gift of her own.

Oh, she’s so lovely.  My heart melts.  What better way to welcome her than with a teeny tiny dress?

Of course the pattern is Rae’s Little Geranium Dress which is available for free in size 0 – 3 months.  If you haven’t already fallen for this wonderful pattern (at which point I’m scratching my head and wondering if I should call a medic!) then this is a great way to test it out so you can realise the error of your ways!

This version is lined with white cotton lawn, to keep it soft against little skin.

Simple red buttons on the back.

A perfect gift for any little girl…especially one so adorable!

    Evie, the dress is adorable! Of course mini-Alice (if I may call her that) is stealing the scene a bit…;o) I love how you lined the dress and those buttons…Congratulations to Alice! I’m sure the little girl will be spoilt with Auntie Evie’s makes!

      The dress is completely outshone by Miss. And rightly so. She’s so beautiful and already much adored by one and all.
