a mexican dress for lucy


Many, many months ago (just a few short twelve) I planned on making a traditional Mexican dress for Lucy, do you recall? I did actually get round to it prior Audrey being born but I thought it looked too big on Lucy so cast it aside and didn't think much more about it all. But this summer, after a few growth spurts, and said pink dress magically reappearing at just the right time, Lucy has been wearing it alot. I think the crumpled look of the linen goes with her hair (i.e. unbrushed, the whole ordeal is such a rigmarole).

I can't believe how sassy she looks in some of these! This is my baby! She is looking so much like a young girl now. And with all the photo-taking for the shop over the last couple of years Lucy has inadvertently adopted what I call an 'insta-smile', the type of smile that appears full beam in a nano-second. Lucky she is having a good break this year from that other job of hers. I do pay her in chocolate eggs and Duplo, just so you know...
