{ longing for summer}
The weather here in Frankfurt has been absolutely freezing -10C during the day. Don’t get me wrong I like winter but not this type of city dry cold winter with no snow. So I was looking for an excuse, to put some summer thoughts in my mind and to make something summery.
I wanted to make a dress out of an old t-shirt for a while now; I just didn’t have the right fabrics, or a t-shirt which has been worn but still looks good. I stumbled upon a couple of lovely blogs ( links at the end of this post) full of gorgeous girls dresses which provided the inspiration…so here is my Saturday morning creation. Lovely Little Big Daughter is in love with her new dress…and so am I.
I didn’t really use an old t-shirt. I had none witch matched so I got a vest from H&M on the sale for 1 euro.
I love the big bow...it makes the dress ever so girlie...
Summery fabric...
Ruffles…so nice and not so hard to make...

Stay warm and have a lovely Sunday!
Love,
Irina xx

Just gorgeous, Irina!!! So very girlie with the big bow.
ReplyDeletevery, very beatiful dress!
ReplyDeleteTo use the t-shirt is a great idea, I do the same =)
I know what you mean about the weather, Irina!! Love the dress - such a shame the weather isn't warm enough for your little girl o wear it right now.
ReplyDeleteAdorable dress! Very springlike!
ReplyDeleteGreat how blue and green go together harmoniously.
I don't love winters :(
ReplyDeleteI love spring, summer and fall :)
I can't wait for spring to come, and wear dresses as colorful and pretty like this one. I can see why your daughter is in love with her new dress, it's so pretty!
ps.: It's so nice that you want to place a grab button from my blog on yours, but I don't know how to make one :( , if you know maybe you can teach me how to make it :)
Have a lovely Sunday.
Lovely dress for a little big girl!
ReplyDeleteOh my. I LOVE this. If only I was any good at sewing! This may be the pattern that gets me motivated to practice. I'm pinning this and subscribing to your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteThis post made me giggle... H&M makes the best clothes for re-purposing :))) Just been doing the same thing with a t-shirt :) This little dress is so stylish - Love it, great job!! And now lets all hope for warmer days soon! -16 degrees near Vienna today! YIKES!
ReplyDeleteFabulous dress, I love the colours :)
