M was pretty excited to get into her new dress, but when I pointed a camera at her, she got a bit shy. She wanted to brush my hair, so we traded. I took a few photos, she brushed my hair. She posed for a few more shots, I got to sit and have someone brush my hair. I think I fared pretty well in this bargain!

At one point, she just completely gave up and I grabbed a couple quick shots before the onset of the complete meltdown!

I’m really pleased with how this project came out, considering I didn’t have much of a plan for it going in. I’m even happier that M was willing to spend the whole day in it – the girl knows comfort for sure! Between this project and my previous cardigan, I’m been bitten by the clothing bug! It’s so interesting to see how clothes are put together from very simple shapes. Stay tuned by following me on Facebook (One Dog Woof) or Instagram (@1dogwoof) as I’m sure I’ll be experimenting with more clothing designs in the future!

I’d also love to know if you make this dress for a little girl, or if you decide to size it up or down for another age group. Share it with me on Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #1dogwoof. I can’t wait to see your creations! Happy hooking!
