Pretty, Pretty Princess

Libby is my brother's daughter.  She turned 3 earlier this month.  Libby is adorable...quite the spit fire.  Recently, she's fallen in love with Disney Princesses.  Her favorite seems to be Snow White, so coincidentally she had a Snow White Party.



Continuing my Year of the Handmade Gift resolution, I decided to make Libster a Snow White dress.  I purchased the t-shirt from K-mart, and I added details, ruffles, ribbon, etc.  




Then, I used this tutorial by Stephanie from Somewhat Simple to create a matching headband.  



I love how it turned out, but I really can't wait to see Libby wear it!

  20. Such a cute idea, if she is any where near as obessed with Snow White as my daughter is with Cinderella it's going to be her new favorite dress. Love the all the fun details you added and that polka dot button on the headband.

  24. Very cute! When my girls (now 24 and 22) were little, I would take sweatshirts, cut off the bottom bands and add flannel skirts to them -- they made the cutest little dresses that they'd wear with leggings ...nice and warm and very pretty too!
