Butterfly, Butterfly

Posted by Laura on January 13, 2012 at 3:30 PM

Butterfly, butterfly,
Sit on my chin,
Your wings are like tinsel,
So yellow and thin.
Butterfly, butterfly,
Give me a kiss;
If you give me a dozen
There’s nothing amiss.
Butterfly, butterfly,
Off to the flowers,—
Wee, soulless sprite
Of the long summer hours.

 

A brand new design for Spring 2012!  A two-piece outfit with assymetrical, overlapping ruffles.  An underlayer of tulle can be added to the skirt for extra dramatic effect.  The top has elasticized ruffled straps so...no buttons or zippers to mess with!  This is embroidered linen in purple and white.  Ellie got this fabulous purple headband for Christmas...so we had to make something new to match! :)

 

And here is just the top paired with white pique capri pants from my Lil' Bluebird pattern.  It gives it a much more casual look.  Great for summer weddings with outdoor receptions!

 

Doesn't Ellie look old in this last picture of the back of her?  Oh my!  She is still three years old for three more days!

 

 

 

So, what do you think of "Butterfly"?  I have a fun, casual one I'm going to try next!

I love the top and pants...Just too sweet; I can envision it on our Little Miss Piper right now!!!

The dress is pretty, but the top and pants just look more like my DGDs.

Oh I must have this pattern for my Miss Ellie(Briella). Her daddy passed away and on the day we made his arrangements a butterfly showed up in the three seasons room...since that day it seems
on many special days we see a butterfly. I know they have always been around but not they hold a special meaning and bring us comfort...so this butterfly dress is a must. I can not wait for it to be released.
