I've had the idea for a lemon print dress in my head for over a year. And I would have made it way back then, but I could never find a fabric that I liked. I searched online so many times and could never find exactly what I wanted, and then one day a couple of months ago I had a breakthrough -- I could paint the lemons! I've been wanting to make my own textiles for a long time, and after making my fabric for my Valentine's Day dress, I was itching to try it again.
So for the last few weeks of my pregnancy, I schemed about this dress, not wanting to make it until I delivered so I knew what size to make it. Then as soon as San was born and my mom was here for a week and a half to help with the kids, I took advantage of a few nap times to pump this dress out.
When I designed this dress, I knew I had to make it nursing-friendly, so I put a zipper in the front. I chose a chunky plastic sport zipper since it added a fun visual element in the front and I love how it adds a little bit of sportiness against the sweet print of the dress. I finished it just in time for Easter Sunday and wore it to church, which you can see here, but I had to grab a lemonade from our local Lemonade for this shoot -- it was just a perfect fit!
I cannot wait to do more textile stamping this summer -- I have a bunch more fun ideas, and plan to do a full video tutorial on my youtube channel on the entire process. So stay tuned for that.
But today I'm excited to share the step by step tutorial to make this dress!
