I've been trying to make some more simple pieces but this dress just needed a bit more than all pink.
At first I wanted to do embroidery. But I did a little test embroidery and I wasn't feeling it.
Then I remembered this cute nautical trim and voila! Pink nautical dress!
I was going to make a self-fabric belt but it was still too much pink so my handy white thrifted belt came to the rescue!
Add a hair flower for pop of color and that's it!
I LOVE THIS! such a beautiful coral color!
