Cocoon Dress Deluxe - Wilma's Birthday dress

On March 17 my baby girl turned 9.

Naturally baby girl needed a new outfit for her birthday.

'Hey me, how about you make Wilma some new pants and a cute top. She's really in need of new pants'!

....and then I made her yet another Cocoon Dress. The most adorable one in French terry - nude pink with subtle gold sparkles from The Sweet Mercerie. For the frills I let the wrong side face out. Nice touch I think.

The back of the dress is where it's really happening - just look at that little lace applique detail, so beautiful, right?! I was a little worried that the applique would shrink when washed, but fortunately that wasn't the case.

To perfect the outfit I made Wilma a pair of Mini Virginia Leggins in a cream/gold jersey from Stofdepotet. (This jersey on the other hand was not crazy about beeing washed and all the gold sparkles as well as all the dirt vanished during first gentle machine wash). Well, cream colored leggings still looks great with her new Cocoon Deluxe. I wanted a snug fit, so I made Wilma's Mini Virginia's in a size 8/9 lengthened to a size 10/12 = perfect!
