Tickled Pink Party Dress

Some of you may remember this dress was my project for "The Shirt Off Your Back Challenge" for Project Toddler Runway over at Shwin & Shwin.  I never did get around to finishing the dress or taking pictures...pretty much just forgot about it.  

I was actually about to get rid of it because I have been doing some major purging lately, and I figured she's never going to wear it and maybe some little girl could wear it to a wedding or something, but then she saw it i her closet Saturday morning, and just had to wear it, so I snagged a few...okay, okay...a ton of pics of her wearing it. 

 I think she looks so adorable in it!  And, it was too cute!  She went outside in it in her rubber boots!  I wish I could have got some pics of that, but by the time I finished with Ian's cake, she had taken them off.  But I think I want to do a "trash the dress" photo shoot with this one one day after it rains....I figure that's what Clorox 2 is for huh??  lol 

I love this one!  She cracks me up!

This was too funny!  She was picking up her dress, and I said that wasn't polite for her to put it down, and Breyden, who fyi loves to do opposite of what you say,  thought it would be funny for him to do it!

Love those big blue eyes!

This is another of my favorites!  I love it when they are silly!

I'm Out :(

 

Thanks so much Mandy for featuring my dress!  I am so excited!

So the polls are closed and I am out of Project Toddler Runway.  I am a little disappointed because I mean, of course, it would be awesome to win, but it has really been more time consuming for me than I had anticipated and I am very happy with the projects I did for the competion...especially, this week's so I'm am okay with it. At least I know I did my best.  Not to mention all the ladies in the competition were amazingly talented so I am glad to have made it this far!  Good luck to all you ladies in the future! I can't wait to see what else you guys come up with!  I know the next weeks will be awesome! So now I can finally share my pics with you!  I have been dying to share them since I took them.  I absolutly love the way they turned out, and I fall more in love with the dress everytime I look at the pics.  I called it Sweet Grace because it made me think of Grace Kelly.  I will share a tutorial on how to make the feather skirt shortly, but I didn't have time to make one and it was pretty hard to photograph so, I will have to get my sisters to take some for me because although I thought I would never have another reason to make a feather skirt, I am officially hooked!  I mean think about who really needs a tutu?  No one but they make you feel fabulous!  Well, this is even better if that's possible!  Okay so enough rambling!  Here are the pics! 

I am still learning my new camera so the color isn't great in some of these because I can't figure how to change the shutter speed when I turn off my flash in low light...I think that is how you would fix the problem right?...Any tips?  I finally figured how to change the modes so I don't get blurry pics of moving kids, but I wish I wouldn't have had to use flash because it really ruins the pics but I still think she looks so beautiful in these! 

Another one...that darn flash!

Flash again...

and they keep going...

See how lovely they are without flash... This is I think my favorite overall.

Well, I really love this one too!

and this one!

mkay...never mind!  I just can't choose!
