Here she is... our newest design for little girls! We're so excited about the torrance dress. It's sweet and simple and comfy to wear, with a swingy tiered skirt and an easy button-and-loop back closure!
We named this special dress after our best friend's beautiful mother, Torrance, who passed away when her daughter was seven. Now this little dress is being modeled by Torrance's seven-year-old granddaughter... our sweet Sarah Grace! Torrance will never know her grandchildren, but they know her. And she inspires us, too.
We'll be back soon, with more details and fun pictures. But of course we have to know what you think!
Love, the Long ladies

It is adorable!
My daughters will definitely need them! Good thing I really do need to make them dresses for the summer and next winter!

Oh, it's so sweet. I love the way you designed it with loop closures and the shorter & wider ties. And I always love tiers--so fun to use a variety of fabrics!

Seriously...?! Just quit it already! Can you not see the ever-growing MMS pile in my sewing room? The pile growing more quickly than I can cut it and sew it all up? And now you add this beauty? Add me to the list of mommies who must have Torrance for the girlies! So darling...well done ladies!! :-)

That is a gorgeous little girls dress! I wish so bad that I had sisters to make it for.
But I do know a few little girls, maybe I could make it for them! Oh yay, maybe I'll do that!!!
Have a wonderful day! xxxxx~Kelsey
