My first thought was, as usual, negative. No way anyone is going to look at anything that I make and think it worthy of a prize. Then I shoed the bad thoughts away, (that's what I have been working on this Lent) and ordered the pattern. When it came I searched through my stash of fabrics and trims and did what any creative person would do, I let everything sit on my table for about two weeks just kind of stewing.
This is what I came up with. Did I mention that the due date for entries is March 31? or that I started sewing on Thursday of this week? Nothing like a little pressure to get the creative juices flowing. When I got the whole thing done I realized that I had one issue that I couldn't so easily solve, Layn is a boy! I needed a model. So I searched through my mind and this cutie came immediately to my thoughts. She's the daughter of a dear friend and she is stunning in this little dress. I knew when she got it on that it was made for her and no one else.
Now my fingers are crossed time will tell.

The dress is perfect and is perfect for the model. You did well.
Oh my goodness, that is a pretty dress. That dress was not easy, the borders, the scalloped trim etc. The longer I look at it the more trims and details I see! Beautiful job!
A beautiful child as well, perfect little model for the dress.
Beautiful from every angle friend. : )
I'd vote for you.
