I’ve been living in my Washi Tunics for a few months now. I love that I have a range of tops I can throw on that will make me feel great even when I’m feeling my yuckiest. I’ve been getting away with wearing those and jeans to church for far too long. Valentine’s day at...
It has been busy busy here lately! I have been working my booty off with my day job, trying to earn enough income to cover baby related expenses (which holy cow, there are a ton of!), and in the bits of time in between I’ve been juggling sleep, keeping the house just orderly enough to...
So it turns out there are Oliver + S patterns that I haven’t tried. Gasp! I’m fixing this “issue” [so far as I think the pattern will actually suit Layla] beginning with the Apple Picking Dress. For this dress I chose a favorite voile print from Anna Maria’s Field Study collection. The dress is unlined, but...
So I’m sure you know that I LOVE Oliver + S. I can’t imagine another person making better patterns for children. Layla is getting taller, so for me that has meant going through my pattern staples and sizing up. I pulled out two of my favorites and purchased some of the utterly precious prints from...

You look adorable!! Can’t believe that is a 3rd tri bump, I was such a blimp by then, haha. The dress turned out awesome, and you and your bump look fabulous in it!
Thank you!!
Love your washi- so pretty:)))
Thank you!
Very cute! I lived it Washi Dresses through my pregnancy. I made 3 with a wider skirt and bigger pleats so it got with the bodice. So comfortable.
*so it fit with the bodice. Oops
That’s a good idea. I may add length to the front skirt on my next one since I know the bump will grow and pull the front up a bit.
That is the prettiest washi I’ve seen! Well done!
