For some reason, we decided that Easter would be navy and a
pop of color. Each family got to choose
their own color. This was not well
thought out—it’s hard to get navy this year.
Within those parameters, the girls chose their own fabric. The green
dresses were going to be navy with green accent, but we couldn’t find the right
navy, so we switched them out. Then to
choose the pattern… the little girls had this pattern, Butterick 5743. I especially liked the v-back, which none of the girls wanted. There was also a different capped sleeve pattern, which I loved. The older girls this
one, Simplicity 1927 . This Simplicity pattern has a homely dress for the cover dress, but view C is real cute. It gives the tweens a shape. Jocie wanted a maxi dress, so I modified the pattern. The baby had Butterick 3782, but instead of pleats, I gathered the skirt, and made the same capped sleeves as the girls'. Some of the moms’ got in on the action,
Word of advice, don’t pick out the theme without going to
the fabric store first.
