Pastel Peasant Dress
I really like peasant dresses! They are pretty easy to make and are so versatile! All you need are 2-3 complimentary colors and/or patterns, and a variety of dresses can be created, in different styles. (You can see the first peasant dress I made here.)
This dress I made as a birthday present for my very good friend Hannah, who was also my music teacher before we moved. Her favorite colors are yellow, green and blue, so I used the pastels I had in all those colors.
There’s the yellow chemise with gathered neck and sleeves, the blue skirt (a half-circle this time), and the green felt vest, laced up in back. Also worn are a yellow flowered apron and a headband, made of a piece of pink trim.

/ March 26, 2012I love the way you incorporated all three of my favorite colors in the beautiful peasant dress. One of my favorite pieces is the vest. It fits so well and the laces in the back make it so realistic! I also love the drape to the skirt. The fabric is a very nice weight. You did such a detailed job. What a special birthday surprise!
