Hurrah for Abigail's new red and white polka dot dress! (The dog is really cute too.)
Aren't those adorable boots?? She found them for $11 at a flea market several weeks back, and had to have them. We all wish we'd seen them first! They have just the perfect amount of a "worn" look to them.
No, Abigail and Bo didn't play fetch while they were out there. Bo is a wonderful dog, but he doesn't quite have the fetch concept down. It's goes something more like this: You throw-- he watches you-- you go pick up the stick-- he walks right beside you. But we love him anyway!
The adorable show buttons are so cute too. And the way Abs trimmed it out is just perfect.
I love the dress! Is there a pattern for that?

I always love this pattern made it. It is just the prettiest dress in polka dots. And your Abs is beautiful in everything.

Abigail you look awesome in that vintage pattern. I have it and haven't made it yet, did you make any adjustments and which size did you make. For those of you asking it is a Butterick pattern B4790

Wow! Love the dress! I purchased this pattern 6 months ago but haven't made the dress yet... Now that I see how amazing it looks when completed, I feel inspired to actually follow through on sewing it! Maybe I'll tackle it this weekend...

What an adorable and fun dress! Great job, Abigail! :)

L O V E the dress, fabric, dog, and boots. The boots are very "Little House on the Prairie." The Bo is adorable. Abigail is very lovely too! I am wondering, Abigail, were you cold outside when taking the pictures?
love,
Gabrielle

In my comment it was suppose to be, "Bo is adorable" not "the Bo." :)

Oh my! That is beautiful!! :)

Oh, I have this pattern...a couple of years ago I fell in love with it and started to make a formal dress off of it, with the front panel and the back wrap being two different fabrics. So fun! Now I'm re-inspired to go finish the alterations for it, and maybe, just maybe, make up a new one in polka dots. =)

Very cute! This is my third pair of MBT, and this is the first one that looks normal enough to wear to work; the other two were too sporty. Feels great, comfortable, as they all do, and looks lovely. Thank you, Mbts!
