Beach Chic

Here is the dress and shirt I made for someone's wedding.  She is getting married in Mexico (lucky!) and has 4 year old twins.

She had seen a market dress{also known as a pillowcase dress} in Greenies and wanted that style in plain black with some bright ribbon embellishment.  We decided on linen since that is like the perfect beachy fabric right?!

The little guy got a white linen shirt.  Nothing too fancy but it was my first time making anything like it and my first time sewing sleeves.  Nothing like easing those sleeve seams to make me realize how great it is to sew for girls where ruffles and little pleats make things cuter!
