Sadie's Valentine Dress

This year Sadie's Valentines dress is a little more subtle. I kept second guessing the gray fabric, but the pink and red stripes just say "Valentine's Day" to me. I really love how this dress turned out. It was the first time I did pleating on a skirt instead of gathering and I think it gives it a nice old fashioned look. The sleeves are 3/4 length. The red ribbon is actually ribbon I saved from a bath set that my sister gave me a couple years ago. It was so pretty I knew I would find use for it someday.
