So the baby shower was a blur of a day and I really didnt get to take a single style file picture of my dress that I made but I did get a few with Julie! 2 is better than 1 anyways, right? I ended up starting my dress last week when I went home to my parents. I knew what I wanted in my head and was trying to adjust a pattern I had to my ideas and to fit my pregnant body. There were a few hours one night between 12am and 2 am that I thought the dress was a lost cause but I stuck with it and I am actually really proud of how it came out. I was hoping for more of a fuller skirt but everything turned out about as good as I good have made it. I am by no means any kind of seamstress so it is pretty ghetto in places. I was so glad Julie and Chris got to come and hang out at the baby shower!!

I never would have guessed that you made that dress. I just thought you found the world’s hippest maternity section. Awesome job!
It turned out super cute Jen! And it sounds like your shower was amazing! xoxo
Yay pink lemonade!! Yay bloggers being buddies!!
Yay handmade dress! You look great, I think the dress turned out so well. Perfect for a backyard BBQ.
Oooh I’m so proud of your sewing skills!
That dress is so cool and looks great with the pink belt.
I’m so glad you had so much fun : ) And I LOVE that you made your own dress for such a memorable occasion. There’s nothing like that first baby shower I’m sure : )
I can’t believe you made that dress!!! It’s SO cute, and you look FABULOUS!! The baby shower looks like it was amazing, too 🙂
Your dress is so cute. Great job.
Your dress looks so sweet! I’m all inspired to make a mixed print dress now!
I love it! A seamstress is her own harshest critic (I’m sure no one noticed any of the flaws you could see)
Happy Baby Shower!!!
Lovely. Awesome handmade dress!
You are SO talented!
The dress came out so good! I love the pattern mixing. I haven’t made anything completely by hand in a long time, but now you’ve inspired me to get back behind the sewing machine!
The dress is great! I totally forgot you were going to make it yourself and was going to ask you where you found it – d’oh 🙂
So cute! It looks like the dress turned out great. 🙂
Aw, I love this! Both of you look amazing. So wish I was close enough to come hang out with you two! The baby shower looked like an amazing success!
Hi! Found you thanks to Megan Nielsen’s blog. I love, love this dress! The floral paired with the gingham is adorable yet edgy!
