Have you ever just found the most amazing summer dress?
Just everything screamed "sweet summer style".
I love this sweet little dress pattern, brand new from Little Lizard King.
This new Evora pattern releases tomorrow!
...and let me tell you...it's giving me ALLLLLL the summer vibes!
Funny enough, I actually photographed this cutie weeks ago, while I was staying with my mother as our house first hit the market (and we had 18 showings the first weekend!).
It was a longer testing period to account for any spring break traveling, but I knew I needed to get it done quickly, and I'm glad I did because we are elbow deep in packing and such now!
The timing all worked out, however, and I do love photographing in my mom's yard.
This sweet little dress is perfect for those warm evenings coming up.
The sweet cross back is one of my favorite styles.
Of course, you can't have a summer dress without.....A CIRLE SKIRT!!
That beautiful flared shape is just so adorable on little ones.
The waistband is fun too, since you can dress it up with embroidery, or the pattern comes with a pin tuck option!
I chose the pin tucks and added some lace trim in the layers.
I love that the waistband can be made with coordinating fabric to break up the main print perfectly, and add the sweetest detailing.
There is a new embroidery pattern that is perfect for this sweet dress!
I didn't use it this time, since I find I am pressed for time these days, but I've seen other testers do some pretty incredible things with the new embroidery pattern and this dress.
I do love to see what other testers come up with! They're very inspiring!
As the weather warms up a bit, we are definitely wearing more and more straps and skirts, and I am so excited for this warmth coming.
The forest near our house took such a long time to wake up...it's been so brown for so long.
This past week everything has been springing into greenness, and I am HERE for it!
....except my allergies. I mean....they are HERE for it too.
Bring on the green, bring on the warmth, and bring on ALLL the summer dresses!!
Happy Sewing!!
