Week one of Project Run and Play is finally here! I’ve been working behind the scenes for a little while and I really hate keeping secrets, so I am glad to be able to share what I’ve been working on!

The theme for the first week was a remix of the Junebug dress from Jess at craftiness is not optional. Here’s what I made:
bloom, baby, bloom
My main goal for this challenge was to make the dress look very different from the junebug dress while keeping it’s main feature: the cute buttons! So I changed the silhouette, made it assemetrical and added a huge ruffle collar(my favorite part!). I also built a huge flower all over the front and back of the dress with pink poplin. I wanted the soft, pink flower to contradict the otherwise very structured and modern elements of the dress.
I made a headband, too, just for fun. Isn’t she the cutest? I need a girl!
There are more pictures and more details of the dress at Project Run and Play where you can check out the other entries and VOTE for your favorite!!
This is quite possible the most fantastic little girls dress I’ve ever seen!

I love this dress and I am totally going to vote for you when I can get the pole to show up in my browser! Anyway, is there any chance you’d do a tutorial on how you made it asymmetrical and the ruffle collar? LOVE IT!!
I think this might be my favorite project of your’s. I absolutely love the collar & the colors. So Beautiful!!
The best part of the dress is the collar! Makes me want to put together a dress or jacket with this collar that’s my size!
OMG Kate this is fabulous!! I LOVE it! You got my vote, not just cause I love everything you do, but your dress blew the others out of the water! : )
We are really bad at keeping secrets to— but at least Elizabeth and I had each other to talk to about all the awesome projects that we were getting sent—and we are super glad we finally got to share them all.
Yours is great. Love the collar and the color combination (I made a dress for Grace in similiar colors and I love them.). SO darling.
