three more geraniums - what should I make next?



I apparently must really love the geranium dress because I have now made 4 of them for my 2 year old daughter. While I probably will make more of these (and might even make one for one of my older daughters,) I welcome any suggestions you have for what pattern I should try next.

I think my daughter's favorite version is this second one - probably because with the fabrics I used, it looks a bit costume-y (and I, um, referred to it as something Elsa (the character from her favorite movie) would probably wear because of the colors which really won her over!)

I'm not sure what fabric that is that I used for the bottom on the 3rd version - I think it might be a chambray - but the bottom got pretty wrinkly after I washed it. Since the dress is for a 2 year old, I'm not going to worry about it (and I seriously doubt that I'll iron it) but I hadn't expected that. And I'm still glad I used that fabric since I think it pairs really well with the AHM print.

And for my fourth version, I, for some reason I can't remember, used the 3T bodice pattern. It mostly fits fine but the armholes are really big. But as you can see in the photos, I have finally figured out how to make buttonholes - they are far from perfect but still - YAY!!!

My daughter is going through a phase where she only wants to pose for photos when SHE wants to pose so I basically kept the camera close by while she was wearing the dress and I managed to get some decent photos (I think.)
