Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Alison and her niece Louisa had a ball posing in their summer dresses— and we bet many mothers out there may agree that it’s pretty tough to capture a photograph of a 1 1/2 year-old who is constantly on the move! There was a lot of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” being sung to get Lulu to pause, but the dress fit like a dream (we used the smallest size) and works well with brightly colored bloomers.
The gorgeous printed cotton is Kaffe Fassett for Liberty Art Fabrics. We’re in love!

I’ve bought the pattern and have some perfect cotton fabric, but as the pattern says it is designed for a knit fabric, is there anything different about making it in woven fabric?

Hi there, It did not make a difference actually, but if you’re nervous about cutting into it, you could add some ease. Apologies for the untimely response!

Baby clothes really do take such a tiny bit of fabric. I want to make matching outfits for myself and my niece, but I don’t want my sister to think i’m crazy.

My sister was like “where’s my dress!” I like to pretend she’s mine. You should do it, even just for the photos!

I’ve been wanting to make “auntie and niece” projects for a while. Thanks for the great inspiration and pictures!

Those are so cute! I just bought some Kaffe Fassett fabric and it is my new favorite!

Adorable! Both dresses are super-cute and the fabrics are wonderful. Nieces are a treat and I love how you found bluebells for the photoshoot!

When I was younger my first doll was named Bluebell, I wanted that to be my name too! My mom takes the credit for having planted those in her garden ;)

Really lovely! I’ve got a tiny neice who’d look sweet in a dress like that!
