Feliz Update

I know I've been a while without posting and after much deliberation and a few changes I finally have  something to share. I apologize for the poor quality photos... these are the preliminary quick cell phone pics. (My cell phone is nearly obsolete and the tech guys that keep repairing it for me at the Sprint store have repeatedly suggested I use my upgrade. I've been eligible for quite a while, but I just can't commit to a new one yet.) I'll post better photos when the dress is completed.

This is the Feliz dress I have in the works for the toddler. I am soooooo excited to see her wearing it! Obviously there were some changes to my original plan. I couldn't find another fabric I liked to coordinate with the princess prints, but I had this absolutely luxurious purple fabric in my stash.  It's from Kate Spain's Good Fortune line. (I LOOOOOVE Kate Spain's fabrics!) I tried adding buttons to the back, but I didn't care for the tabs I constructed and decided to skip it after all. I am also going to attach the shoulder straps per the pattern instructions rather than try and make them adjustable. Maybe I'll try that next time, but for now since I have my model handy I'll just attach them to fit. I typically add a flower clip to the front, but with this print... we'll see. 

I'm hoping she will wear this for Easter, but it is so true to size that by making the size up it may be too large for her to wear just yet. I ordered cute little white Laura Ashley sandals to match it from Amazon. 

Aren't they adorable? The fit is perfect. She'll wear these with her Feliz or she'll wear them with my backup number that awaits in her closet.... a cute, white, drop-waisted eyelet dress from the Gap. 

Now it's time for me to turn in... maybe tomorrow I'll finish??? Until then...
