Welcome to week 3 of Project Run & Play! I have loved being able to sew along for the past few weeks {thanks to my hubby for ignoring the messy house!}, and this week was no exception!
The theme this week is denim, which totally threw me for a loop! I had a great design in mind, then found out the fabric I wanted to use was $80 a YARD! Seriously?! Needless to say, I scraped that plan. Look two was turning out super cute, but too boring. I know there will be some AMAZING jackets, pants, overalls, and jumpsuits this week so I wanted to go in a different direction. I decided to take the casual fabric and make it fancy! So here is the Everyday Elsa Denim Dress!
I'm guessing your daughters are just as obsessed with Frozen as mine are {I may or may not listen to the soundtrack while alone in my car...Let it Go....you're singing it now, aren't you?}, so I decided to make a party dress that Elsa would approve of and that Bella could wear more often than just on Halloween {which is what she wants to be...must start costume!}.
I used white stretch denim and an overlay of turquoise lace for the dress. The skirt is a tea length hi-low circle skirt, perfect to mimic the train of Elsa's dress, but still wearable. There are a few snowflakes inside the skirt if you looks closely.
It is quite possibly the twirly-est dress I have ever sewn!
The denim bodice has a sweetheart neckline underneath the lace overlay, which my daughter LOVES.
The back is my favorite part though, it makes me want to sew myself a dress! I made a skinny denim belt, and of course Elsa has to have her snowflakes!
The skirt is perfect size for a princess.
And apparently you cannot stay still while wearing it!
My daughter insisted on some Elsa-ish hair, she doesn't have enough length for a braid, so this is what I can up with.
She had to throw in some Elsa poses...love my silly girl.
And of course Elsa joined us on our photo shoot.
Please come back next week to see my signature style look! I can't believe it will be the last week.. *insert sad face*
