Are you ready for this? Birdie loves her polka dot Mini Darling Ranges dress and she can’t stand still she is so excited! My girls have been so incredibly patient during the development phase of Mini Darling Ranges. I can’t even tell you how many samples they had to try on, how many fit photos were taken. For Birdie she kept falling in love with samples that she couldn’t keep yet as we were still using them. This dress was one of those samples. When Birdie tried it on in the development stage she absolutely fell in love with it and wanted to wear it immediately. But we hadn’t taken photos for the website yet. Remember when I told you the rules for sewing for kids?? This time we had to make sure we had our product images for the website before Birdie could wear her dress, and the poor kid did not take it well. She was desperate to wear it. So you can imagine the second she got the go ahead she was all over it! There was jumping, twirling, flossing and general overflowing pure joy – as you can see from these photos!

I’ve been sitting on so many gorgeous Mini Darling Ranges makes waiting to release the pattern and I’m so excited that I get to share them all with you now! This is Bunny’s vintage sheet Mini Darling Ranges dress, and she has been wearing it constantly since we made it during the early testing days to the point where it is now – much shorter and very fitted haha. But to be honest, that’s what makes it a successful make to me. Anything that my child can wear for two years is a win – and if they love it so much that they want to wear it that long, even better!
