Here we have two Rio Racerback dresses, pattern from Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop (affiliate links). This is the 0-3m size. The floral fabric (The Fabric Fairy, long since sold out) has appeared many times before (mama dress, undies, toddler top) and now baby sister has some too!

The grey and white chevron (Girl Charlee) has also been a mama dress (the exact same pattern as above...) and I believe it was some jammies for AB, too. Those flawed bargain boxes from GC are the gift that keeps on giving!

This was an easy pattern, but on the tiny size I don't think you do yourself any favors by applying the binding in the round. Next time, I'll do it in the flat and save myself some hair pulling. I don't know if you can tell in the photos, but I over-serged one arm binding on the floral dress and almost serged the whole thing off. I'm trying not to be heart-broken over screwing up a project with my favorite fabric. It is just a baby dress, so I think I'll take it easy on myself.
The pattern goes up to size 12, so with two daughters I can see about 1363 of these in my future. What is your go-to summer pattern? I kind of want one of these dresses for myself...
You three are too cute!
