E-beth Pattern Review - Lorelei Women's Dress Pattern

Elizabeth from E-beth Designs just released the new Lorelei Women's Dress Pattern (affiliate link). It is just gorgeous and I was able to test it. I made this year's Easter dress with this pattern. This dress ranges from a 00-20 with an A-DD cup size. There is no FBA needed for this pattern. The way the pattern is set up printing just your size is super easy as well. 

There is tulle added to the lining of this dress to give it that something special. I used tulle mesh for mine to make the layers stand out even more. If you are taller or short like me (5'4") there are instructions in the pattern to get just the right fit without doing a ton of extra work on your own. 

Once you make your muslin and test that the fit is just right it actually comes together pretty quickly. I was able to make my satin and lace version in one evening (uninterrupted of course). 

This dress is great for dressing up or everyday depending on the fabric you choose. 


Every girl needs a dress that twirls. :)


Here's me and my best girls on Easter in our lace dresses. They are both wearing the Caroline Party Dress (affiliate link) by Mouse House Creations.

Whimsy Couture Pattern Review - Sweet Baby Doll Dress

Whimsy Couture just released it's newest pattern, the Sweet Baby Doll Dress and it is so stinkin' cute! Abby wore it all day yesterday and got compliments everywhere we went. Miss Abby is wearing the size 6 with 2 pettiskirts underneath. She said she HAD to have the poof with this dress. I can't say that I disagree. 

This dress is actually pretty simple and quick to sew but had stunning results. There are no zippers or buttons which makes this a great easy on easy off dress. That's a win in this family.

The top is elastic all the way around and the 'sleeves' have ribbon that runs through then and ties in the back. Since I used lace as my top ruffle you can see the fun ribbon peaking through the layers. I love the extra pop of color.
Here is the close-up of the ruffled layers. They are created by using a rolled hem and sewing the two layers on separately.
I think I'll just let this adorable dress and my Abby speak for themselves. Enjoy the picture overload. :)













I'll leave you with this picture of my awesomely silly little princess. This pattern is seriously a win for the summer. This would be perfect if you are trying to squeeze in a quick and beautiful dress for Easter.
