Manhattan Valentine Dress

My poor boys. I used to make them Valentine’s Day shirts but lets me honest, dresses are more fun :) And what is Valentines day without a new dress right?

I have had the Manhattan Blouse by See Kate Sew on my to-sew list for months. Something else I have wanted for months? That Fruit Dot Print!! ( The Fabric is Cotton & Steel Fruit Dots in Peaches Orchid and you can find it HERE) I decided this print would make the most perfect Manhattan Top/Dress!

I just extended the skirt part of the pattern by about 3-3.5″ in length to make it a dress, super easy.

I have been hoarding that Anna Maria Horner Little Folks panel for so long (color is Square Dance Citrus). When I hoard something for more than a few years I have a really hard time cutting in to it but I felt like this was so perfect, right?!

I went with a citrus button on the back, I just love the little opening. I love sewing baby dresses because they are so quick… too quick for me to get sick of them before I’m done :)

And as usual Bee LOVES her new dress! Perfect for pushing your baby doll in the stroller, throwing pom poms and twirling! What more can a girl ask for?!
