The handmade closet

In a world filled with midriff tops 

and hip hugger skinny jeans, 

it's a comfort to this mama 

to make modest dresses for her little girl.

 Little girls should look like little girls, 

don't you agree?

And this Ice Cream dress from Oliver + S 

fits the bill oh, so perfectly!

Over the weekend I was able to make two dresses and two adorable blouses for Miss Mary Grace.  

She loved her dresses, especially the pink one, 

and proceeded to fill her pockets with all sorts of treasures...

like LEGOs and peanuts!

I love the simple, modest style and ease of construction.

I also love adding little embellishments like vintage buttons...

and little love notes for my lovely!
