2 Little Hooligans

Girly-Twirly Dresses

I had a lot of little girls to make Christmas gifts for, 12 to be exact. So I decided to make them all the same dresses to make it easier for me. I bought The Twirl Skirt Pattern from Lil Blue Boo and copied her A Party Dress Tutorial. Instead of using cotton fabric for the twirl skirt I used ruffle fabric.
As you can see in the picture below, the ruffle fabric goes in all different directions when cutting it into a circle skirt. I think it adds to the girly-twirlyness of them. Yes they are so sweet and I’m pretty sure that I just made up a word there…girly-twirlyness!

I bought most of my tee-shirts from Walmart or Old Navy. I find they have the best selection of plain tees that can be embellished. And they are very reasonable in cost.
Some of the dresses I added flowers to them, while some I left plain.
I even used a few other fabrics that I had on hand to make each one unique and one of their own.
It was fun making so many different dresses with so many different colors.
I just wish one of these girly-twirly dresses would look as cute on me as they do all those little girls that they went to.

  2. Those are so Cute! I can not wait until the summer to make a few of these for my daughter. I saw so many ruffle fabric options at our fabric store that I might just have to make something for myself too. 🙂

  3. Oh how cute and unique! As for girly-twirly, it's a word every little girl (and big girl!) understands instinctively – I'd be hopping up and down with excitement if I was told I was getting a girly-twirly dress, both as a child AND now!

  5. These turne out so cute! I adore the ruffled fabric. The one with the striped top and gray bottom is my favorite.
