Description

This is my “hooray for spring” dress. It has a corset top with a racerback to make it a little more interesting. The skirt is gathered, and there is no hem because the selvedge of the fabric is so nice.

you can see it on my blog too! needlesthreadandlove.wordpress.com

Material Notes

I splurged on this fabric its a 100% cotton double gauze by Naomi Ito… the colors and feel are stupendous and I had to own some of it. The dress took around 2 yards.

    The dress and the name make me want to dance in warm spring rain ! It fits so well and the tattoos are as great as the dress! Did you make a racerback so le petit prince didn’t have to hide behind fabric ?

    Goodness what a beautiful dress! I love that you picked the Naomi Ito fabric, it is gorgeous. Great idea to use the selvedge on the bottom instead of hemming.

    Everything about this dress is beautiful… the fabric, the full skirt, the bodice. Very impressive!
