The Dresses on Vacation...

Our California Vacation...
I made these dresses from Sandi Henderson's clair pattern. I have also added this link toShabby Nest, because what can be more frugal than homemade dresses? Here we are in California. I wanted to take the girls to the beach with the dresses for a little photo shoot. That didn't really happen. But I do LOVE the first photo here. I will definitely be putting that up.
Sophie being adorable in the Ocean. She LOVED it!

She loves posing for the camera. She doesn't need to do much to be adorable!


The plan was not to use the dresses as swimwear, but what do you do? I had this vision in my head of these gorgeous photos by the beach, but the girls were drenched in minutes. I got a different kind of photo shoot, and I adore the photos we got. What do you expect with four little crazy children?

Hope you all like how the dresses turned out. Just looking at the photos makes me want to sew!

Those dresses are adorable with a capital A. Too bad my girls are too old to wear what I want them to. :)

Love the dresses. My girls did the same thing last time we were at the beach. We had them all dressed up for photos and they ended up in the ocean!

The dresses and the girls are adorable! And the photos are fabulous. I know they didn't turn out how you had envisioned, but somehow I think that makes them more endearing.
