I copied an old nighty that I've enjoyed for a few years, and it came out fantastic. The original gown was from April Cornell. Remember that place? I really like how the colors, pleats, and piping worked out. Again, the fabric is from FIDM. So the whole thing cost under $5, that's including the piping. I wish I had bought enough fabric to make Annie one. As you can see, she likes it too.
That is quite lovely and the colors would look fantastic on you. It looks comfortable, yet stylish. Good for you. And a bargain besides, what more could a person want?
I love it too! I also love the sweater fabric dresses for the three of you...is it a knit? I love your trumpet flowers and all your TODAY observations. Suddenly I missed so many posts! Have a great vacation!
I was born on April 1st in Berkeley, California. I'm enjoying a life full of satisfaction and challenge alongside my dear friend and partner, Bill, and our almost twelve year-old daughter, Annie. We have a great house and garden that we share with two dogs, nine canaries, and three fire bellied toads. We are choosing a path of living that holds everyone's needs as precious and equal. We're loving an unschooling approach to education for Annie and ourselves. We're trying to live a life with the least amount of negative impact to the enviornment. One way we're doing that is we're really trying to be mindful about what we buy, how we travel, and how we care for ourselves. I will post my ideas, challenges, and celebrations for doing so on this blog. I would love to hear any of yours too!

So beautiful! I wish I could sew. Love the colors and pattern.
What an adorable maxi dress? Are you using it as a nightie or a dress? I think it's fantastic. Yes, I remember and miss April Cornell stores.
