Obviously this is not something I can change. However I can make bright warm clothes to help us deal with winter better. I can, and I did.
This is the Nivalis dress and tunic pattern from Sofilantjes*. I made a summer version of this dress nearly two years ago and have been planning to make another one 'soon' ever since.
This dress is size 8 width with size 9 length. I learned my lesson and did not mess with the length of the bodice. I simply lengthened the dress at the hemline. I could probably get away with a straight size 8, but my girlies are growing at such a crazy rate I decided it would be safer to add a few cm in length.
They say that blue and green should not be seen. I strongly disagree! I think it is a wonderful combination! In fact, I have already combined these two fabrics before, first to make a jumpsuit for my little love and then a top for my big love.
The green is merino fleece from The Fabric Store that I purchased on sale a couple of years ago. I only have a small piece left. If I could go back in time I would have bought a lot more of this fabric!
The blue is a lovely jersey I bought from MaaiDesign ages ago. I used most of it to make a dress for myself. I have small bits and pieces left, but definitely not enough for a full garment, not even for my little human.
Sending my big love to a dance school was the best thing I could have done to improve our photo-shoots! She simply does fun and at times quirky dance moves and I click away! So easy! Well, that, and a promise of a chocolate or TV time at the end of a photo-shoot. A perfect strategy if you ask me.

Beautiful dress and your daughter looks gorgeous in it. I've just bought the same green Merino from The Fabric Store at their current sale. It's my favourite colour.
