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...
I think everyone has to have some staple piece in their wardrobe. Surely, this is true. Pre-pregnancy, it would have been a tie between my J Crew chino shorts and Jackie cardigans. And Staple and My Belle Dresses. Okay. Maybe I had a few staples I relied very heavily upon. Maternity clothes are so much...
Today’s post is all about the Bubble Dress and Liberty. Such a glorious combination! One of the first dresses I made for Layla was the Bubble Dress. I loved it so much, and she got a ton of wear out of it. She recently saw this 2014 Liberty print from Jones and Vandermeer, and obsessed...

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!
