I always hate to toot my own horn, but this time I think I came up with a pretty good idea. Not sure if I have seen it around the web. Actually didn't look for it, just came up with it on my own after I made the ruffled notebook covers. Or maybe the other way around. I can't remember. I have been dying to get these up on our blog but just have not got the pictures done. These were actually made before the Easter dresses I made. I know - what a slacker I am. I finally took the kids out and took pictures of them. I don't think you can see the ruching in Esther's dress but as you see in the following pictures, I made a white ruching section. I divided the dress into thirds and made the bottom a solid blue. The white is 3 or 4 inches of a white on white print and then the top is a red star material.
A better look at the whole dress on Kirsten.
Now you can see both the ruching and the ruffle bottoms I made for Esther.
Here is a little bit closer look on the bigger dress. One thing I didn't like about the ruching is it kind of puffed out. Maybe if I put a solid piece behind it there would be less puffing? I don't know. It still looks cute.
Although I'm not really sold on the pillowcase dresses. They are cute but just hang on my little skinny girls. I like a more fitted dress on them. Maybe next time (if there is a next time) I will do a gather in the center to make it more fitted on them.
