I found this adorable baby dress at the thrift store the other day. At first glance, it looked vintage. Once I got a good look, however, I realized it is a modern day handmade dress with classic styling. Though I can't sell it in sosovintage, and I have NO plans to have any more children myself, I do have a friend who is expecting a girl.... yippee!

The chest smocking is on a lavender gingham panel that coordinates so nicely with the floral fabric.

Sweet eyelet trim along the hem

And the neatest bit of all- look at the way the buttons are attached! Instead of just using your basic button-sewing technique, this person used lavender and green thread and french knots to create "flowers". Now you sewing people may have seen this before, but I was just floored by this precious idea. I want to try this myself! On what, I have no idea- but I'll find something in Sophie's closet, I'm sure. You want to try, too? Great! Do it and send me a photo (jennie.thoma@gmail.com)... I'll share your work right here!
