I’ve never considered myself a big fan of the color orange. I don’t dislike it, but it’s just never really risen anywhere near the top of colors I use in sewing or otherwise. But this dress — this orange dress — I love!

The dress pattern is Betsy’s Dress by browniegoose, purchased on Etsy. I’ve sewn several brownie goose patterns and they have all proven to be well-written and very straightforward. And completely adorable!

The fabric is by Heather Ross, and its bright colors and whimsical design perfectly embody Spring. It’s hard to tell from these pictures, but the design includes the cutest little bumblebees adorned in handkerchiefs and carrying baskets, out collecting blooms. This was a fabric design I ordered almost immediately upon its release, and then saved it and saved it… It’s funny how that happens (er, repeatedly). I’m applauding my delay in using it though, because I think it’s perfect for this dress.

This dress was actually a Mother’s Day present to myself. I wasn’t sure Daisy would truly like the dress due to the higher neckline and the three-quarter length sleeves, but I was quite enamored with it and determined that she’d at least have to wear it for me on Mother’s Day. Whenever I dress her in something with in-between length sleeves she spends a bunch of time tugging on them in an attempt to make them full-length. The same thing goes with capris. “Why don’t they go all the way down?”, she asks bewildered.

Well, it’s been a success. She wore it for Mother’s Day and a few times since, as well. She was concerned about the sleeve length at first, but it subsided quickly. Maybe that was a Mother’s Day gift to me, as well!

I love the sweet little details on this dress. The pattern suggests lace trim on the cuffs and pocket, but I elected to use white ric rac. And the pocket in its own fabric (Bonnie Christine design, I think) is a fun way to use up some scraps while adding more visual interest to the dress. Daisy has already put the pocket to good use while collecting random bits of nature around the yard. Note to self, must remember to empty the pocket before washing the dress! (Random detail: I never remember to check pockets when doing laundry. I am forever finding hard little tissue paper “rocks”, coins, hair elastics and more in the washing machine due to my forgetfulness! Does everyone else remember to check pockets?)

And lest you think she’s always ready and willing to be perfectly posed for a photo shoot — here’s a shot of her in her more typical mode, Transformers in hand, of course!

I’ll be back early next week to show off a new pattern from a talented new pattern designer! Stay tuned….
