I think it is darling…of course I love almost anything in red. The detail at the hem is my favorite. I had no idea that there was such a thing as flickr tutorials!? Good luck!
Very cute dress, the hem is just darling! So glad you got your Tut finished;)
Thank you so much for writing that up! I will have a go when my machine is fixed. Looks great though.
cute jess. was it easier to use flickr for the tute?
Pretty little dress! I love the ribbon for thee straps!
I linked to your tutorial on Craft Gossip Sewing:

Being able to look at your photos at full size with all of the detail was so helpful! I was trying to figure out one step where I wasn’t sure I was understanding properly, and it helped soooo much! Great tutorial! Will definitely have to give it a try!
This is so cute! I love the ruffle around the hem! π
Love this little sundress thank you so much for sharing the tutorial!
hugs
I love your tutorials! Seriously. I want to follow you but blogger isn’t working. I hope you visit me so I can find you again!
I love your website! I am so happy I stumbled across it (I can’t even remember how now because it feels like I’ve “known” you forever π I just made this “sundress” – it being the first clothing item I’ve made – and wanted to rave about it! I can’t wait for my daughter to be one year so she will fit into it. Only 3 months to go. I posted some pictures on my blog if you have time to peek. I look forward to trying more of your tutorials. Thanks so much! Cheers.
YAY! I stumbled upon your blog months ago looking for a quick easy dress tutorial for my daughter’s 1st birthday party. I printed instantly and made it that week (I work very long hours close to 80/week so a little every night while everyone was asleep) but i lost track of where I got the tutorial! I happen to cross you again! I am forever greatful for this tutorial because it was the perfect dress for my Marley’s birthday. You will have a faithful follower from now on now that I found you again!
Thanks for this!! I just stumbled across your blog from pinterest and have spent way too much of my little girly’s naptime on here…lol. I LOVE your craftiness!! I hope you don’t mind if I pinned this dress on pinterest as well. I am pregnant with girl #2 and think it would be so fun to sew them look alike dresses. I’m definitely not much of a seamstress but your blog makes it look like so much fun π

I love this and you do make it look very simple! I am new to sewing and have a 10 month old that has been my inspriation <3
Thank you so much for posting! π
p.s- I did have to look up “selvage” though haha! At least I know what the finished edges of fabric are now π
Thank for saving my butt big time this Easter! π I used this tutorial and the Nora dress one, as well as some of your hair accesory tutorials. I am blogging about them and linking back to you to make sure you get lots of well-deserved credit. Thanks!

Love this tutorial! And love your blog!!!
I made something similar:
http://lacianfrusaglieria.blogspot.it/2012/04/pasqua-bagnata-rainy-easter.html
It’s not as perfect as yours, but I’m still learning!!!
This is so cute! I can’t find the link to the pattern though. Is it still available?
Very cute, very simple, thank you. I will be making this in several versions for my wonderful granddaughter who is 9 mo. old — wearing 12-18 mo. size already! I made her christening gown (using a commercial pattern) a few months ago and am just loving having a wee girl to sew for! I only had one child, my wonderful son, so making clothes for him was rather “boring”. You can only be so creative with overalls and t-shirts π Our darling little girl is now walking so wearing dresses is feasiable again — didn’t work well while she w as crawling! I will post the picture once this is finished.
Thanks so much for this tutorial.
You are sew…. crafty:) I love your stuff!

I just finished making this for my little one. I’m a beginner, and I was so surprised at how easy it was to make the dress! One thing though, I didn’t use enough fabric for the skirt part so it came out a bit “stiff”. Oh, and I also did a pleat instead of gathering π
i love it, i wanna try it, thanks
This is such an awesome (and detailed!!) tutorial! I am a total sewing newbie ( I can count on one hand the number of things I’ve sewed) so this was just great! I used the general idea to make a top and bloomers (baby girl can’t walk yet, so HATES dresses, lol). Here’s mine: http://craftymisc.weebly.com/1/post/2014/03/sewing-attempt-4-shirt-bloomers-monograms-aka-in-which-i-learn-some-important-lessons-on-baby-growth-rates-and-ease.html
Thank you so much for sharing!
I have to first say how cute the dress is. Is it possible for you to construct a pattern along with the tutorial 18 – 24 months? It would really be appreciated.
Thanks
Adorable. Do you think that this pattern would fit a one year old?
Thank you
Happy Sewing,
Alice.
I love your website! With your help, since discovering your site back in 2012, I have taught myself to sew… THANK YOU!! Most recently, I’ve made two dresses using your Junebug dress sew along series, as well as two of your Pretty Easy Sundress tutorials (I have two girls, so two sewing projects at the same time…always!…can you relate?lol). I did want to mention, however, the annoyance of all the ads on each tutorial photo. It makes it a little difficult to actually see the pictures, especially since I am still learning. Just wanted to throw that out there. Regardless, I am a true follower of your blog!
