Crossback dresses are perfect for keeping cool on hot summer days. Add a tee and they're perfect for spring days, too. Trade the tee for long sleeves and wear the dress right into fall. A dress and jumper all in one. Three seasons of wear. Plus, it's reversible! This one dress will give your sweet girl lots of looks for the price of just one dress.
Below, Brooklynn rocks it out in the this reversible crossback dress/jumper featuring Amy Butler's Daisy Chain fabrics. Notice the darling little turquoise dragonfly buttons.
Same style of dress, totally different look. This version features a cupcake theme. Side one is a cupcake applique on brown polka dot fabric with big white buttons. Side two has two pleated pockets perfect for toting her little treasures. Did you see the cherry red buttons on the pockets and shoulders ? The pink polka dot fabric is also available in sky blue.
How about this mod 70s-inspired fabric from Australia? It's super, super soft poplin cotton that your sweet girl will love next to her skin. Aqua, orange, red, fuchsia pink, light pink, orchard pink, medium pink on white - imagine all the outfits you can pull together from this one piece?! As with our other version of this fun style, check out the cool buttons: big fuchsia flowers on the mod side, pink daisies on the giant polka dot side.
Add a pair of bloomies - plain or ruffle bum - to cover a toddler's diaper or layer over our ruffle shorts new for 2010. In cooler weather the crossback dress/jumper looks sweet over ruffle capris or pants.
Beautiful (and itty bitty) Carley models the Rainbow Garden crossback dress in a size 2.
Like reversible but looking for something other than the crossback? How about this a-line version with buttons at the shoulders. This one shows off fabrics from Amy Butler's Daisy Chain (left) and Belle (right) collections. Of course, there's fun buttons to boot!
These are allllll sooooo adorable. They remind me of a pattern I purchased and need to get workin' on. I just received some new fabric and I am excited to get started sewing. Your goodies are inspirational. :0)
