chubbies

I was just looking through some old patterns that my Mum (who was a dress designer) gave me.  I nearly wet myself laughing when I turned this shirt dress pattern over.  Look carefully at the sizing!

It's an issue close to my heart as I was what my Mum always called a 'bonny' baby.  She says I was beautiful but the camera never lies.  I don't think the bowl haircut did me any favours but I definitely wasn't a skinny minnie.

Perhaps that's why my handmade Peak Princess Liberty print dresses are all cut generously so slim little girls look and feel just as pretty as the bonny and beautiful.

This is me at 18 months!
