Last Saturday was Sydney's first Father/Daughter dance. I think Chad was way more excited about it than Sydney was. It was loud and dark in the cafeteria and Sydney doesn't like either of those things. She was ready to go after about 30 minutes. But here is her dress. I chose a satin batiste in cornflower blue. The pattern is from AS&E. It is called Garden Party. I added half and inch to the back just to give her more room when giving Daddy big hugs on the dance floor. She said she felt like a princess wearing it. The bow in her hair is a 3 inch double satin ribbon in cornflower blue also. Both from
Farmhouse Fabrics.
I did a very simple 5 step trellis for the smocking and used sapphire seed beads. Loved the simplicity of it.
Chad ended up having a tie that perfectly matched her. They were just cute as can be going out on their "date".
At the dance they had another proud father take this picture. I wished I could have gone and just snapped pictures of them.
But, I had better things to do...I had to smell my sweet baby's head and give soft kisses to her forehead. I was in heaven.
Piper they look so adorable!!! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself with Sage. The dress came out lovely and the tie does match perfectly!!
ReplyDeleteOMG Piper, the dress is gorgeous!! How you had enough time to do that too is beyond me, but Sydney really looks proud, and Daddy....quite the handsome guy with his matching tie.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Sydney felt like a princess. She certainly looked like one! Gorgeous dress, and love Dad's coordinating tie!
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job on the dress! I love AS&E, and this one is quite detailed. You should be so proud! Especially with a new born at home. I'm amazed! I've always loved the color cornflower blue! We're turning carwheels over this one!
ReplyDeleteI've made that same dress, although I think I like your version better than the magazine. Dad does indeed look excited and proud to be attending Father/Daughter dance.
