On with tradition! I make my girls a birthday dress every year. So of course, Maeve received her first one. These birthday dresses are the only dresses I save just for each daughter. I was down to the last minute on Maeve's, seriously finishing it the night before her birthday! Not my usual style, but life is borderline crazy right now. So you get what you get! I wanted a dress that we could take to Ecuador with us and this one fits the bill. I'm sure in future years I'll make her more winter-y dresses but this is what she gets this year! I like how it turned out and overall, it was an easy pattern.
