The Oliver + S Birthday Dress has been made in the kitty bud fabric by Melinda Josie.
I mentioned when I made my pillowcase that this was going to happen and so here it is and there is still enough left over for a pillow for her.
I made it one size up and in my mind I'm thinking she is going to wear this for her birthday however, that is not until February so we'll see. I like to think about children's birthday parties and all the different themes and decorating schemes. I was thinking a old timey kitty cat birthday with vintage kitty imagery would be fun. We'll see.
So, I don't know about your experience with two year old girlies but dressing has become a big deal- changing outfits, discussions on what to wear etc. My boy just gets dressed you know and only changes if he has like peanut butter all over his shirt for example.
Anyway, maybe she is just playing games with me but, she wasn't sure she wanted to try this dress on. Shocking I know as it's super sweet and even has her favorite color in it but, then I mentioned I'd get her a pink balloon if she would try the dress on for Mama which was really perfect anyway because you know it's the birthday dress after all....

Oh my goodness! It's beautiful!
Nancy, Anabela just sent this link to me, and I'm so happy she did! This dress looks amazing! I hope she decides to wear it every day! (And wish her a happy early birthday for me!)
Very pretty! I love the fabric! I bought this Oliver and S pattern last summer, and I have been meaning to make one of these dresses for one of my girls.
that dress is so adorable. the fabric is just perfect for it and the photos of little miss s are so perfect. she looks so sweet in the dress.
Pardon my interruption, but I am looking for folks that have either "Retro Sewing Blogs" or "Nostalgia Blogs" for an article I am working on . Please send your suggestions to me at dianne@cdiannezweig.com THANKS

this dress is adorable! and yes, the issues over dress between girls and their mommas starts very young. now my 8 yo wants to wear only mismatched clothes (which she swears matches) or the most comfortable (i.e., ratty) things in her drawer. no dresses, no skirts, no nothing girlie. :(
very cute dress. lucy went through the phase of changing clothes multiple times a day. now she will only wear shorts and tank tops and no dresses. i hope this will change when the weather gets cooler.
