It's not THE Olivia dress, but it is another dress from Pink Fig's Olivia Top pattern. I made a couple of these last year to show off a fabulously cool Alexander Henry turtle fabric. This time it's pink instead of orange and Amy Butler prints instead of Alexander Henry. And while the pattern is the same, I've added shirring at the waist and moved the sleeve gathers from the upper arm to the wrist. It's a-whole-nother look and I love it as much as wee one does!

Something else I did differently on this dress was to use the serger to make roll hems on all the edges. It's a simple, clean look that works so well with the shirring. The serger and I are starting to make friends and I'm really starting to see the benefits of having this sort of machine. I could get used to this.

And so after a week of freezing cold weather, including snow on Sunday, wee one got to enjoy a rare sunny day in her new sunny dress.

We're supposed to have another lovely day tomorrow and wee one has already requested her jump rope dress. Yes, I could definitely get used to this.
