Zinnia birthday dress using the Oliver+S Roller Skate Pattern





Fabric and flower inspiration chosen by the birthday girl.
I used quilting cotton (she chose because it looked like seeds) and hand embroidered zinnias onto the border.

I had never use an Oliver + S pattern before this, but will try many more. They are so well written. I lined this with a pink kona cotton. My favorite part of this pattern is the cap sleeves and the elastic on the A line waist. I have 3 more of these cut out and ready to sew up.

OMG. please hand these down to me! Just kidding. That's a very selfish thing to say. You should probably keep them and put them in your girls' treasure boxes so that THEIR daughters can wear them someday. Totally.

But they really are lovely.
