Dressed in WHITE. "Simply" white.

I had a great idea to make a baptism dress for Brynley. 

She picked out the pattern from "Simplicity." Which now I'm wondering why it's called Simplicity?? 

For who? 

Let's just say that I got in WAY over my head. I was seriously fooled into thinking I could figure this out on my own. When I couldn't figure out how to lay the pieces out on the fabric (which TOTALLY makes the dress btw), 

I knew I was in trouble. 

Thanks to my mom and a few sewing lessons, it was barely finished in time. 

In the end, I determined that this must be a heirloom dress...it will be passed on to generations.

 I spent enough time and money on it to make at LEAST 3 more "simpler" baptism dresses. 

ANYway...

THIS is the dress...it deserves it's own post. 

Can you believe I hand-stitched the sleeves?? 
I can't...

That is a pure satin sash...beautiful. 

What a cute little model...the dress fits her perfectly! 

On to easier sewing! 
Phew! 
It was totally worth it though... (I think)
