Puppet Show Tunic
One of the main reasons that I started stocking Oliver+S patterns is that I wanted to make the Puppet Show Tunic in a tiny size. This pattern has been discontinued sadly, but I was lucky enough to get some for myself and the shop.
These photos are only blog ready because I haven't added the buttons and buttonholes on the back. That's why one side looks to hang lopsided. I'll admit that this pattern was a bit trickier than the Ice Cream Social dresses, but the results were gorgeous and the work was worth it.
I changed the directions for the bottom hem because I wanted my elephants to march instead of being on the bias. I was also fabric limited, so I chose to use a coordinating Kei honeycomb for the lining.
Buttery. Sweet. It almost makes me clucky.
That is the cutest little dress ever!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
I love this pattern but because it only goes up to size 5 I haven't bought it. Your version is just so sweet. I will be joining you on the icecream dress-along though!
ReplyDeleteOh my, that is beautiful. I love your fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteIt's enough to make me clucky too, which is pretty impressive given that the thought of another baby usually makes me want to vomit.
I think the lining is a nice offset. It might be too much if it was the elephants or the tiny stripes!
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I notices were the marching elephants. Awesome. :D
