Scootch on over to Project Run and Play to vote for your favorite! Mine is at the very end so be sure to scroll all the way down to see it.

  1. This is one of the prettiest Run and Play projects I have ever seen! The colors and full skirt are so perfect and the dress looks beautiful on your daughter. I am just so in love with it! Great work.

  2. I can't believe you hand-pieced that skirt! I thought at first that the fabric was printed with that pattern. Amazing, Danielle.

  4. danielle, it's GORGEOUS. it's total eye candy - i LOVE the colors, and i know how stretchy shot cotton gets when you try to sew it on the bias, so a huge pat on the back for the beautiful curves (i almost wrote YOUR beautiful curves, but that might be a little inappropriate...). hope YOU win - i need that tutorial! ;)

  8. wow. Just... wow. It's amazing. The silhouette is beautiful and fun, the colors are stunning, and the overall feeling is playful but kind of grown up as well. I love the details too, the buttons, the scallops, the curved placket... it's really stunning. I wish I could sew like this, I'd make one for my daughter in an instant!

  10. You, my dear are a designer. Seriously. Your dress is HANDS DOWN the best in the group. Not only your handiwork (flawless) but the colors/design look effortless, sophisticated, and fresh. WELL DONE, dear! :)
    I wish I could vote 100 times over!

  12. I like who you changed the shape of the bodice flap to a rainbow shape :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. So glad to see you're in the lead! Underdog my eye! It's really great, my favorite part is how it has both the rainbow shape in the skirt and all the colors of the rainbow in the dress.

  30. Um, Wow. Wowee wow wow. I love PRandP and this dress is so beautiful. LOVE the colors. Can't wait to see what else you come up with!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Had to stop by from PR&P to say, "Fantastic Job!". This dress is amazing!!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. 1. I am amazed by the appliqué. I couldn't begin to imagine how to do that without steam a seam!
    2. Brilliant choice to make it long sleeved. It would have been cute short sleeved, but not nearly as perfect.
    3. Awesome construction and fit.
    4. You are blowing my mind with your creativity. It's not that often that you see a totally unique idea. I am amazed!

    Bowing down,
    anne

  34. I just voted for you and it looked like you were in the lead!! Way to go. If I only I had a girl to put her in such an adorable dress. Love it!

  35. Danielle You are so so clever. I just voted for you so good luck from here in New Zealand. have you ever checked out Trelise Cooper Kids? She is an amazing fashion designer here in NZ [sadly her kidswear line has just closed ] I think you may adore her designs. Keep up your gorgeous work.

  36. I wish I had a dress that fit this perfectly! Amazing, Danielle, and so lovely. My girls are hanging over my shoulder saying, "Is this a dress for me?" I am so impressed. I hope you win!! (And I love your honesty about feeding Oliver a cup of Cheerios so you could finish. :-)

  37. It's really so beautiful and so you--I can tell you followed your own inspiration! Don't worry--my sink looks like that (though without all the pretty dishes) even when I have no impending high-pressure deadline. I can totally come pick your kids up (er, I guess only one will fit in my car) so you can get a little more sewing in. Let me know what afternoon would be most helpful! (And I'm serious.)

  38. HOLD THE PHONE! You have to be kidding me with this dress. It is rocking my world so hard I can hardly stand it. Are you going to be making a pattern? Selling the dresses? You live in SLC? Can we be besties?!

    Sorry, I think it's your sister Vanessa who just left a comment on my blog and I followed the rabbit hole here and I'm dying!! xoxo

  39. Not sure what I can add to the multitude of compliments... suffice it to say I am an admirer as well! LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress! I have a tiny question about the skirt: Is it just a gathered rectangle with a pettiskirt underneath???
