Birthday Dress #12!
Finished!
I've finished the birthday dress and we even went shopping for accessories today!
We didn't find a belt that was quite right, so we decided to go with a ribbon at the waist instead. After looking at the selection available and talking over color and style options, she choose a wide black velvet ribbon. I love this choice as it gives a little bit of rich texture to the whole dress without being too heavy or overwhelming.
I will post a picture of her actually wearing it tomorrow - there's not enough time today as she wants outdoor pictures, the light isn't good today and I have a client arriving in 20 minutes.
Parting Shot: Tomatoes! My son's garden is finally producing things to eat, some of the first being the tomatoes. There are more to come, too!

Summerset - you are my productivity inspiration, I can't believe how much you get done. I love the placement of the flower at the center of the bodice - very pretty! Great dress! Happy birthday to your daughter.
Excellent! The ribbon belt and the matching necklace are perfect. This is a beautiful birthday outfit.
The dress is beautiful! I love the fabric!
Absolutely beautiful, I love the border print use.
This is the most stunning dress you have made for your daughter. The colors are brilliant. The necklace and wide velvet ribbon is a perfect choice.

This dress is gorgeous, she will look beautiful!
What a lovely dress! I heartily approve of the accessories too!
What a beautiful dress. She's growing up so fast!
Congrats to your son on those tomatoes, they look delicious. I am going to try my hand at a couple of vegetables next year. It's impossible to buy any decent tomatoes anymore.
I LOVE that dress and I can't wait to see it on her.
Gorgeous birthday dress, your daughter is really growing up - I would wear that dress (if I could fit into it!).
There is nothing more beautiful than a fresh off the vine tomato sitting on the windowsill. The dress is beautifully stylized.
Beautiful dress, the accessories will finish it perfectly.
Beautiful dress for a beautiful young woman.
I love you!
