The Sweetheart Dress Pattern {giveaway & review}

 Last week Shannon from luvinthemommyhood sent me one of her Sweetheart Dress patterns to review. And since you all know me, I had to make two. Everything is cuter in pairs right?Let me first start out by saying that Shannon did an amazing job on the Sweetheart Dress pattern! It is so professional looking and she really explains each step to you. I would say that both dresses took me about 3-4 hours to make. The first dress definitely took me a lot longer to make then the second one. The construction of the bodice and skirt pieces were new to me, but they may not be for you. I’m still learning a lot of the basic sewing techniques when it comes to constructing clothes. All I can say is that I love the new-to-me technique! There are no exposed seams that need to be finished off and there is no hand stitching involved. It gives the dress a very professional and finished look.And what can I say about the cute little heart cut-out…it can’t get any cuter can it?!It is the perfect little dress for Valentine’s Day…or a tea party. I added a little heart cut-out to the front of the dress that matches the button on the back. I just love how it gives a little contrast on the dress.I made both dresses a size 3T which is what both girls are wearing right now. The dresses fit them perfectly!The pdf sewing pattern ranges in sizes from 2T-6T. So it is one of those patterns you can use for years to come.Thanks again Shannon for the chance to try out your Sweetheart Dress pattern. We sure do love it and now the girls want one in every color!Now comes the fun part…who wants to win a Sweetheart Dress pattern?

  51. I have four granddaughters and one grandson—-the crown prince. Love to sew for them. The heart design in back is very clever.

  53. A friend of mine (now my MOH for my wedding) sent me a link to this pattern ages ago for my daughter, but I didn’t buy it at the time. I decided, since getting engaged, that I’m going to use it for my daughter and the other two flower girls for our super DIY wedding – we are seriously doing EVERYTHING! On searching for the pattern again through Google, I came across this giveway! Fingers crossed xx

  56. These dresses are so sweet. I love the tablecloth, the bunting, the upside down baskets for stools. It all looks so great. You are so talented. Sadly my daughter is now 13 so no longer wears pretty dresses! Make the most of it while you can. I love the doll though – do you have a pattern for that?

  57. Love this pattern! I just gave my daughter her first sewing machine for Christmas and I would LOVE to give her this pattern for her birthday on Feb. 19th! I know she would so love to make this adorable dress! It would be her first clothes sewing project. <3 BTW – LOVE your blog! You are so creative and your girls are precious.

  60. Super sweet dress! I love the cutout in the back – and although it looks intimidating, with directions likeyou describe it would be easy !!!! 🙂

  62. Dear All,
    like this a lot and I think it would suit my niece who turns 2 years old. Next month and her niece would be happy to tailor a package to his grandmother.

    Tks./ Preeya
