Merry Christmas Dress

Due to everybody's (including my own) busy schedule I will keep it short. When I saw this fabric at Stoffenelf early September, I just had to have it. I loved the kittens and knew my kids would too. For long I was doubting what to make from it, all my kids were drooling over it so I had to divide (and concur) the fabric. When I tested the ADTV shirt from Sofilantjes the pattern screamed "dress" so I hereby present the ADTV Christmas dress.

I went overboard on color blocking. The red dots fabric was a left over from this dress. It combines beautifully with the red and white stripes. Both are really Christmasy, I cut the stripes slightly off grain to give a candy cane effect.

I did two shoots with this dress. The first one my model was not in the mood (and refused to wear the red tights I gave her) and the setting wasn't ideal, but I was on a deadline (which as it turned out, I could have ignored ). Later I did another shoot, one for which my four year old refused to change leggings.

You might be wondering what I did with the rest of the fabric, seeing as I primed you for more garments, well they are for next year. Let's hope they still like cute cats by then. Enjoy your Christmas, my model will certainly have a better time then when we did the shoot!

I love to hear what you think of my creations. Feel free to leave a comment in the language you prefer (although Google translate might have to assist me if you choose something different than English, German, Dutch or Hungarian).
