Tula Pink is my favorite fabric designer, and her new line, Elizabeth, is hitting shops as we speak. I bought a lot of this fabric from several different places, but the yardage for this dress was the first of the Elizabeth to arrive at my house, so I got to work on this dress immediately. This dress is part...

Instructions come in English, Spanish, and French (all in the same booklet, but divided by language). I was eager to make this pattern, as Pauline Alice has several other beautiful patterns. This one looked great for everyday...

Today, I'm showing the finished Christine Haynes Derby Dress that I made before Christmas! This is a loose, a-line dress that pulls on over the head. There is an option for either the ruffled neckline with tie belt, or Peter Pan collar with ruffled hem. Because this is a loose style, I wanted it to drape, so I opted...
