There are a gazillion tutorials on the web for these dresses so I won’t bore you with the details (unless you’d really like me too then I’d be delighted), so straight to the pictures for the first of 3 shirred tops/dresses currently being made.
- Oh Mummy, do I have to stand still?
This one was cut down from a dress of mine that whilst I loved the fabric always felt indecently short.
I kept the pintucks from the original dress at the bottom
and did 12 rows of shirring at the top
Tie shoulder straps give plenty of growing room
The little cardigan is from Asda last year and the butterfly sandals are in Next now.
I love these type of dresses, let’s hope the sun keeps on shining so Button can get the most out of it
Such a pretty dress to match a very pretty model!
