I seldom have time for cranking out the sewing projects these days with Spoonflower, young'uns, and gardening season taking up nearly every second of free time in my day. So it is with great relief–and perhaps a bit of surprise that it really is done–that I show you all my new Lollychops pear dress, finished at last! As Lolly herself well knows from the gushy email I sent her when I first laid eyes on her printed pears, I love this design and was delighted to be able to own some myself when it won the fabric-of-the-week contest a few weeks back. I've made a few little girl dresses from Spoonflower fabric, but these pears were for me!
For the clothing sewers among you, this was made from New Look 6586, and my review of this pattern is here.
WOW Kim!!!! That is totally amazing!!!!! I am just completely blown away! You look utterly fabulous!
I think I may have a smile for a week because of this one!
HUGS!
Love love love it! Amazing job Kim. The fabric definitely is an eye-catcher and I love the contrast fabric you used to make it pop.

LOVE the dress! I just can’t get enough of that fabric! There are so many things that could be made out of it!
Thanks, everyone! Fuji Mama, I agree with you completely that this fabric is so inspiring. I’ve saved every little scrap to use for other projects–all are too precious to put in the kids’ scrap basket!
Love the dress you made and of course the fabric too. I thought you just might like simplicity 2591 dress pattern as well. Check it out.
This is cricket again, the pics of the dress made are at the blog, allbuttonedup.typepad.com. With retro fabric adorable. I tried to google search for that pattern simplicity 2591 wasn’t it. I think you’d like the dress in retro fabric take a look.
Once again, that pattern was it, melissa did some changing of it. Like you did yours. left out the zipper part and added pockets. She modeled it wearing socks and sweater. Maybe it was her sense of style that made that dress check it out. allbuttonedup.typepad.com.
Thanks so much for the link, Cricket! That’s not a blog I’ve run across before, and her dress is very stylish.
I am a lover of pears! What a great sundress!
I have just found this blog and will be back!
I bought some of Lolly’s fabric. I’m saving it for something special, but I have no idea what! Love, love, love your dress! Hmm…maybe a skirt for me….
Sehr schöner Look!
