fancy geranium dress

11/26/2013 By Christie

Hello!  Today I’m going to show you a dress that I made for Ruby that I love!  I made Bailey a geranium dress (by Rae of Made by Rae) for Easter HERE and absolutely love it.  I love the simplicity yet polished look of this dress.  I think it’s just adorable.

For some family pictures we were getting done, I decided to make a little fancier version for Ruby Jane.

The top is corduroy and it’s lined with the same kona cotton fabric I used for the mint leggings found in THIS post. The fabric was a darker green—just a tad too dark to be mint, so I used some color remover in the washing machine and tada!  Mint fabric.  I was happy it turned just the right color that I wanted.  I found this pretty lace fabric and layered it over the mint, just basting it in place and acting like the fabric was one piece in the pattern.

Things did get a bit thick with the corduroy and the two layers on the skirt, but I love how it turned out.  And darnit—I didn’t get any pictures of the cute mint buttons on the back!  But they are there.  And they are cute.  :)
