Bron made this beautiful butterfly print dress for her little girl, Miss Small, who was so enamoured with the butterfly side that she wore it all day.
The teal needcord side got a tiny look-in, just long enough for some modelling to demonstrate how full the skirt is.
The pattern also has the option for a big fat sash, kindly demonstrated by the delectable Erica.
It has a retro style (I was watching a lot of Mad Men when I designed it) with a high neck, generous shoulders, a slightly high waist and a very full skirt. There's a slit in the back with a single button closure. The pattern includes sizes 18m/2T and 3T/4T. The pattern should hit my shop in a couple of days, but before then... a giveaway! To enter just leave a comment on this post with the thing you want the most for Christmas (yeah, I know it's a bit early but hey). If you link to the giveaway on Twitter / Facebook / blog feel free to pop back and leave another comment. I'll randomly pick a winner on Thursday.
I love this dress and that pic of Erica is ace!!
ReplyDeleteI've retweeted you already ;)
What do I want for Christmas? Your girly patterns up to 5/6 so Looby can wear them ;)
Ok, if I can't have that....time to play with my family. No rushing around and stress. Too much to ask for you think?
I have no small people and undertaking that pattern would probably leave me with a nervous breakdown, but it has been duly re-tweeted!

Cool dress! Especially love it with the sash.
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas I want a great big fat stash of funky fabric (and maybe some chocolate too!)
Am off to RT you on twitter now :)
Yay! Fame on the kitschycoo blog :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me have first go of the pattern - it was fun to sew and as you can see, Miss Small is very pleased with herself in it.
Happy to help, anytime!!
For Christmas I'd like to find an extra room in the house that no-one else knows about, a big pile of beautiful fabric and two extra hours a day just for me. Or, y'know, chocolate, bubble bath and socks.
For Christmas? I would love a nice new camera, Beetles Rock Band, a fabric & pattern shopping spree (I have my eye on this coat pattern with an asymmetrical collar & a tunic pattern from this hot designer in Scotland... maybe you know her?), a clean kitchen, and world peace.
ReplyDeleteBut since none of that is happening, I hope I can win this.
I really like the dress. For Christmas I am not sure maybe a surger or maybe a new digital slr camera.

Please Mrs Santa could I have a new pair of slippers- mine pong something evil!!!
ReplyDeleteAll I want for Christmas is peace and quiet, a lie in and a soak in the bath :D
ReplyDeleteAll I want for Christmas is finally have all the boxes unpacked from our move. It's sort of cheating to ask for that because it also means that the den will be re-done into a crafting room/office, too. Thought I might casually sneak that past Santa.
ReplyDeleteUmmmm i'd love a new handbag, and am pining for an slr camera again. oh and some gorgeous duo boots to fit my fat calves and cankles!
ReplyDeletedress is delicious!!!!!
brilliant as usual! for christmas, i want more time. he. if that isn't available, i'm asking for the book carefree sewing for girls and maybe some fabric and yarn.
ReplyDeleteand maybe a baby to sleep through the night.
Love the dress!
ReplyDeleteThe thing I probably want most for Christmas is for my grandmom to come home from the nursing home! (-;
Love the dresses! This year I'll be asking Santa for 7 hours sleep. In one go :).
ReplyDeleteAwwww Bron's Miss Small is just such a little cutey! Well done on getting the dress pattern finished, it's fantabulous :)
ReplyDelete(Oh - Christmas? A business premises for less than £10k a year please)
Love the dress - of course! For Christmas, I'd love for my kidlets to sleep though the night. Both of them. Just once. Or a serger. But really the sleep.
ReplyDeleteI facebook-shared you :)
ReplyDeleteLovely dress Bron! good work x
ReplyDeleteI second Bron's wish for a secret room in the house that no-one else knows about... imagine - it would be wall to wall books, fabric and comfy cushions!!!
For Christmas I would LOVE Take That tickets (pity they haven't announced another tour yet!!!!!!), I'll make do with the DVD of the Circus Tour Live instead, a history of fashion book I saw at the weekend and a pair of very beautiful Irregular Choice shoes.
Oooh I love it.
ReplyDeleteFor christmas I'd like to have a month, just a month, where one of my girls doesn't catch some kind of lurgy or cold thingy.
Beautiful dress and pattern :-)
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas, I want a big bunch of fabric to go with my new overlocker!
I've just finished the coat pattern I won, errrmmmm, about a squillion months ago, so I'd like to win another one please :)
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas I would like an extra day in the week (preferably child-free), a permanent job, and any book by Winifred Aldrich. And the moon on a stick.
for Christmas? um - a hoodie for a teenager ;) a mermaid dress for my gorgeous girly and an asymetric jacket for me!
ReplyDeleteLoving your work and your beautiful models xx
gorgeous dress.
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas, I'd like to have 24 hours of on my own-ness to tuck away and pull out an hour whenever I needed it (I'm a solitary bugger by nature and the hardest thing about being a mum is that I'm with someone 24/7).
oh, and facebooked your giveaway too
ReplyDeleteI asked Santa last year for a fireman and he failed miserably. Do you think if I ask for George Clooney this year I might have more luck???
ReplyDeletefabric, buttons, embellishments galore, that's what I'm asking santa for (I'll be v good I promise, santa!). ooooh that dress - how fableeous (my DD's speak). E x
ReplyDeletenot that the Boy would want to wear a dress, but I thought I would leave a comment... not that I would be able to make a dress or anything anyway...
ReplyDeletebut what I want for christmas is a laptop that isn't an effing piece of crap.. and a kitchenaid standing mixer!
Chocolate. That should about do it. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic, classic dress!
Love this dress. Can't wait until its out in your shop.
ReplyDeleteI have been really, really good this year. I Have been thinking about getting a serger. I'm hoping that Santa knows how good I've been.

Reversible is great!
ReplyDeleteWhat I really want for christmas is a buyer for our house, so we can all be together in our new home. Especially so I don't have to keep hiding away my sewing machine - oops I mean so I can see my partner every day!
I'm wishing for a Wii this year...
