Wedding Dress

A few weeks ago, Stephanie posted about a 

white dress that she had made for her daughter.

For some reason, I had never thought about making

Ruby a white dress. After reading about Mabel's

white dress, however, I decided that it made

perfect sense for Ruby to have one.

After all, she and Milo get married nearly every day.

I used the Audrey dress pattern from Violette Field Threads,

although I made the skirt as long as possible,

per Ruby's request. I used a polyester fabric that I 

thought would wash up well (and often). 

Ruby chose two ribbons to tie around her waist.

Ruby and Milo have had a lot of fun using the dress

for their weddings, but Ruby also likes wearing it to church.

T-Shirt Dress

My Mom made cute t-shirt dresses for Ruby

and her girl cousins last summer.

Ruby still really likes the dress, but she has
grown enough that the skirt was too short,
and she refused to wear leggings or pants
underneath it. I decided to add a little
fabric to the skirt so she could keep wearing
the dress. Ruby told me she wanted it "longer longer"
so I ended up adding a few rows of fabric.
I had some ribbon that matched, so we added that, too.
