One of the things keeping me busy before Christmas was making these dresses. Three matching red lacy dresses for Christmas day, and the small amount of time they got to wear them in church.
I added black sashes and then a ruffled flower. All three dresses cost around $40, which is great for three Christmas dresses. That’s about $14 a dress!
The dresses were made a little big so they can wear them (hopefully) next year too. All but the baby, of course, since hers actually fit really well- she’s huge for only 4 weeks old!
And of course, they were just so excited to wear them. You can tell, right? No, they really were happy about them and told everyone I made them who commented. They were so cute all together.
I’m just bummed we didn’t get a good, happy, smiley photo to prove it :)
Beautiful dresses! Love the rosettes on the sashes. And a bit of a lol, those are the kind of faces we got in most of our Christmas photos!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteSo dang cute! I love the lace! And I've come to realize it's totally impossible to get all three smiling at the same time. Don't feel too bad.
