The Portion of my Inheritance

I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect pattern for Aniyah’s outfit. I knew what I wanted in my head but was having a hard time finding it in a pattern. I knew that I would probably have to tweak the pattern to get exactly what I wanted, but I did not have the time to just make my own design. So this is the pattern that I finally settled on.

The inspiration came from a pair of leggings that I purchased from Old Navy for Aniyah. They just so happen to match some fabric that her mama had bought for her before she was born. The fabric came from here.

I used the same three fabrics that I used for Aria’s vintage outfit, I just changed the order in which I used it.

The pattern is a long dress and I actually considered it, but she is still pretty small and I kept seeing her trip over the bottom of the dress, so I once again changed the length.

I really wanted ruffles on the front of this dress, so I just added them along the outside of the bodice front.

I used the same vintage velvet trim that I used on Aria’s, just a different color and width. I also added the trim to the cuffs.

I added the dark brown dandelion fabric to the waist band.

This dress also zips up the back.

Usually when I make matching outfits for the girls I like to incorporate their own personality and style into the project, making them the same but different.
