Another dress for Sarah

I've already named a dress after this sweet friend of mine, so I'll have to leave this one as is.  My wonderful friend Sarah's and my husbands were getting ready to graduate together, and Sarah was lamenting to me about how hard it was to find a beautiful maternity dress that she could wear to graduation.  Since I had just been through all that with Afton, I knew exactly what she meant.  For some reason the words "cute", "maternity", and "dress" just can't be used together in a sentence when pregnant and shopping.  So I offered to make her a custom dress to fit her belly just right.

Maren Dress

This female missionaries from my church started noticing my dresses every Sunday and finally asked me where I got them.  I told them I designed and made them all and they couldn't believe it.  They have asked me to make them their very own dresses based on dresses I've previously made for myself.  This is the first of the three.  I'll update this post once I get a picture of this dress on it's owner.  She looks adorable in it!



Lucy Dress

While doing a little fabric shopping in LA this last summer, I came across this beautiful pink polka dot stretch cotton.  I love anything stretch because it's so much more comfortable to wear, so I bought it.  It started to remind me of something Lucille Ball would have worn, so that's where my inspiration came from.
