I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I made a couple of Easter dresses for my girls. What a joy it was to watch them wear them!
Here’s the little one.
I had a totally different fabric combo in mind for the dress for the big one, but once she saw the dress I made for her sister, she wanted one just like it. Thankfully, I had enough fabric left over from making the first dress.
I’ll say that the dresses were well received by the girls.
I used the Party Dress pattern by the Cottage Mama. It’s free when you sign up for the newsletter. It’s well-written with lots of photos. I highly recommend it.
It took me a couple of days to make the first dress. I made the second dress in one day. Funny how much quicker things are the second time around!
I enjoyed making these dresses for my girls and am looking to make more!
Do you have a favorite pattern for girls’ dresses? If so, please share in the comments!

Aww, they're gorgeous!
Wonderful!! Beautiful girls,beautiful dresses. I hope you had a blessed Easter!
They are SO cute! Just beautiful dresses. No favorite dress pattern over here — I've got three boys. Love them to death, but I would relish sewing a fancy dress from time to time.
Love the dresses. Especially the covered buttons. The girls look like they enjoy them too.
What fab dresses and how cute that they are the reverse of each other! Your daughters look extra beautiful in their lovely Easter dresses x
Mom of boys here, so no recommendations on dress patterns but I had to pop in and say that the dresses and girls are adorable!
Oh Nicole, they are just precious! Beautiful dresses. Beautiful little girls. I hope you had a blessed Easter celebrating the risen Savior!
These are so sweet, I love that your eldest wanted the same as her sister, my girls like to be coordinated too, so precious! Great choice of colours, so cheery.
These turned out so pretty.
I love the reversed fabrics! So clever. As for patterns, I love anything by oliver + s. We don't do super fancy over here but I've used the Roller Skate Dress pattern for birthday dresses, a few Popovers for summer and am planning a Library dress for the fall.
These are absolutely darling and I love that they are similar but different….
They are beautiful! I go back and forth as to which is my favorite. I will have to check the pattern out!
Gorgeous girls Nicole. I have just made the geranium dress by made by Rae – much simpler than yours, but nice and quick to make.
How absolutely gorgeous! Your girls look like they're really enjoying their party frocks! So sweet.
the dresses are beautiful!
The dresses were beautiful! So enjoyed seeing them.
Gorgeous! I love the little details on the dresses, like the covered buttons on the back. Adorable pictures!
The dresses are gorgeous! I like that you switched the fabric placement so they're matching but not really. Your girls look like they're having so much fun together. 🙂

Oh my Goodness! Those dresses are beautiful! You did a wonderful job! I love the colors that you chose, so bright and happy. What adorable girls you have, how fun!
These *almost* make me want to have a girl to sew for… Instead, I'll just live vicariously through you and your adorable girls!!! I do plan to pick your brain on garment construction one of these days – you're fantastic!
Those are adorable! I want to start making dresses for my daughters too.
These are perfect and I love that the oldest wanted to match 🙂 Makes my heart smile!
The dresses are beautiful – love your fabric combo!!! They look soooo cute… 🙂
Oh my goodness! These dresses are adorable! Good job, Mama! Your girls will always remember how their mama made their dresses for them. I know I do! My mama made dresses for me and my sisters for every Easter and Christmas (and in between). Great memories of her sewing late into the night to finish them, too 🙂
The dresses are beautiful. I really like the fabrics.
My daughters are in their 20's, so when I sew them a dress it's for Halloween or something fancy. Right now I'm working on a Renaissance dress for my oldest, who teaches history to 8th graders. I like your dresses more, they look much easier! Plus that they look adorable on your two adorable daughters, lucky you!
Beautiful dresses on your gorgeous little girls. Has the older one injured her arm? I noticed a brave on it. I hope it is all ok.
