Mia's "Waterymelon" Dress



This is my almost three year old niece, Mia, and today I gave her the watermelon-print dress I made for her (or, "waterymelon" as she calls it.)  I added pink ribbon to the bottom hem and between the bodice and skirt sections for the dual purpose of adding flair and covering my not perfectly straight stitching.  The pink ribbon has little black dots in it that look like little watermelon seeds.  There are also two watermelon buttons that I added where the straps meet the bodice on the front.  She really liked it.  Tomorrow I'll post pictures of Lauren's ladybug dress made from the same pattern.  (Click on the photo to enlarge)

That dress is lovely! Your additions really make it, I think.
