The Joy to the World Dress

Even though it is almost closer to next Christmas than the Christmas past, I hope I'm forgiven for the late sharing of Maia's Christmas dress? Rather than go all fancy or frocky or frou frou like Christmas dresses of yester-year, I decided to make her a dress that would hopefully get a lot of wear all year round. And if Christmas is supposed to be about joy, you don't get much more joyful that smiley mushroom people cavorting amidst rainbows....

Wearing your new Hello Kitty slippers (thereby rendering your mum's attempted photo shoot null and void). Wait. You want more joy?

She was genuinely demented with excitement.

  1. Fabulous dress, fabulous small girl, fabulous everything.

    Demented with excitment is a damn good thing to be, I reckon.

  2. "Genuinely demented with excitement" is the best phrase I've heard in ages. Thank you!

  3. Freakin adorable that girl. I love that fabric and the little girl in me is seriously jealous I didn't have one when I was little! Could I get away with it at 42? Perhaps not.
