I've been eyeing Bobo Choses kid clothes for a long time, but I certainly couldn't fork over the dough for something they will grow out of so quickly. So I used Easter as an excuse to finally make something inspired by their awesome prints (the collar is definitely not bobo choses-esque, that's just my favorite clothing accessory).
Here we are again on Easter... (side note: my husband is in desperate need of better fitting church pants. I told him as soon as he graduates we are getting him to a tailor).
(the two pieces that inspired this dress)
I traced a dress for the pattern (and cut the pattern out of 4 pieces of fabric so I could do lining by sewing them together in twos, turning inside out, and then sewing the back and front pieces together).
Hope you find something in this to be inspired by! Or maybe you all just think I'm crazy.

You have such a darling family! I love all the projects you do on your blog, Pure talent!
I love the dress for Olivia! You all look so cute on Easter.
I love the way the painted triangles look. Such a stylin little girl!
Looks adorable Katie!! I love her dress and thanks for recommending Bobo Chooses! I'd never heard of it and love everything there! I probably won't be buying anything anytime soon but there's lots of inspiration there!
Hope you guys are doing well in Florida!
that is the cutest dress ever! i love it - and it seems relatively easy to sew. i love the buttons on the shoulders!
I'm surprised I hadn't commented earlier, your family photo makes me so glad with fun colours and painted details. I enjoy your colours and patterns and all, yes, I find it very inspiring here!
I don't usually buy too expensive clothes for my two kids, although sometimes it is hard to resist some of the cutest stuff... It is a great idea to make your own, quite original versions.
With all due respect, I think if you took your husband's pants hem up to where it hits the top of his shoe, it would solve the problem. My sister had the same problem, she said her pants looked too big and baggy. But after taking up the hem, they looked 100% better! Love your little collars, what a fantastic way to dress up a solid color dress with a fancy print lace, bright print or just a contrasting color even for Mom's. Thanks for sharing.
