She is so hard to dress these days. She is very particular but there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason behind her choices other than mood, which is hard to read.
Our mornings go like this:
Me: Let's get dressed Ava.
Ava: Oh...okay. Pick me something, Mom.
Me: How about this dress?
Ava: No! I don't want to wear that one!
Me: Okay, how about this?
Ava: No! I don't want to wear that either.
Me: Okay, then you pick something you'd like to wear.
Ava: I can't! I just don't know! You pick me something, Mom!
And so it goes.
I thought if I could find a dress (seems to be the outfit of choice these days) that she liked and was comfortable, I could just make a bunch and our struggles might be over.
Unfortunately she did not want to wear it until I added a little girly touch (the flower).
Once I added the flower she said she loved it, but as soon as we were home from church that dress was off!
So I'm not sure this is a match. Maybe I'll try it in pink...
P.S. To those of you who signed up to receive something made by me, I am really planning on it happening this year! (For a while there I was doubtful!) But I haven't forgotten!

Chris thinks something more princess-y. Me and my immodest self was thinking something with less fabric-you know TX in summer!?! A sundress type thing? Our daily struggles are food related not clothing but I feel ya. Good luck!
Ava crack me up! I haven't forgotten about your gift eather:) I'm working on it. I think everybody understands what you are going through. I'm glad you are feeling better. Give yourself some time too. I'm going to need your address to sent my gift to you. Maybe if you can e-mail it to me facebook, gmail whatever will work:)
I can't wait to know what you are having.
It is super thin material and I meant it to be breezy. And it was crazy easy to sew. All of those factors we leading me to believe this could be a good fit! I think a different fabric will do wonders! At least I hope!
The dress is so cute and you are just so talented!
I vote for a lower neckline, shorter sleeves and no belt--you know TX in the summer! Nice job though--the flower is my favorite too! Hint---thin cotton material often turns into a wad when you wash it (I don't do ironing).
