I mentioned in my last post that I'm a little over sewing pink dresses - I think this is the last one I'm going to make for quite a while.  In terms of my KCWC challenge, this dress was a complete failure.  I bought the material to make it and not only did I not use a japanese pattern I bought a pattern too.  Argh...

On the upside - I love the finished product!  I bought the Blank Slate Basics  Pristine Swing Dress from Melly Sews and really like  how it came together - simple, simple, simple but with a lovely finish. It's definitely a pattern that I will pull out and use again.

It has a pieced yoke - hello pink!
and a pretty nifty back placket....
This is the 'quick we need to take a photo before we run out the door to kindergarten' photo.
Despite the fact that I broke all the rules I set myself for KCWC my kids' wardrobes are looking a lot healthier and enjoyed sewing for them.

I think I might put away kids clothing patterns for a while though - I've a few other project on my mind.  How about you?

Love it, so cute! Great fabric choices. I'd love it if you'd add it to the Blank Slates Flickr group (http://www.flickr.com/groups/blankslates/)
