So I’m a little late to the party, but at least I made it, right? I was so excited when I saw Shabby Apple was having a design contest! I love Shabby Apple Dresses. So when the opportunity to possibly design one came up, I just couldn’t pass it up.
This dress is a soft pink with a pink lace overlay. It reminds me of something my grandma would have worn back in the 40’s or 50’s.
I wanted simple sleeves, so I made them capped. I love the way boat necks look with capped sleeves, so I made it wide with a few little pleats near the shoulders.
The front and back have darts, and there’s no slit in the skirt but still plenty of room to move.
A sweet ribbon belt with matching pink yo-yo’s added the perfect finishing touch.
I think this would look cute in any pastel color. Wouldn’t it be perfect for Easter?
