Yay!! Spring has *finally* sprung!! The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming and the temperatures are rising! This means break out the sleeveless patterns!!
I so excited to share Little Lizard King's latest release: Boise Top & Dress. This pattern features a squared neckline knit bodice with optional back ties and shoulder flutters. The skirt can be simple tunic, tiered tunic, ruffled hem, tunic, simple dress, tiered dress or ruffled hem dress in knit or woven! The size range covers 12m - girls 14.
I chose to sew simple knit bodice (no ties or flutters) with a tiered woven skirt. I've had this buttery soft Art Gallery knit in yellow patiently waiting to be sewn and I paired it with a lightweight chambray that jumped into my arms at Hobby Lobby (or at least that's the story I told my husband..HA!!). It's the quintessential Spring combination in my mind.
I knew my daughter would want to try the tiered version because according to her, "the twirlier, the better!" It passed her twirl test 😊
My daughter wears a size 4 chest with a 7 length and I found it very easy to blend the sizes to achieve a custom fit for her! One of my favorite things about sewing is that I can customize sizes to get the fit that I cannot buy in the store!
The back mimics the front, but is slightly deeper cut. Because I omitted the ties, I sewed two buttons on the front to help my daughter know which side goes in front.
I found the most amazing garden tucked into our downtown area. It's truly magical. I've only lived here for 13 years and am just now discovering it. Whoops. I expect to visit the gardens quite a bit now.
