Another new release by the talented ladies over at Little Lizard King this week is the Augusta. How could I pass up testing a dress named after one of my favorite cities?
This is another pattern loaded with options- two front necklines, classic or sweetheart; as well as two back options, elastic or button back. This is the classic neckline with elastic back.
There are also multiple skirt options for this pattern- simple skirt in dress or maxi length as well as casual and formal widths. There is also a gorgeous tiered cascading hi/low skirt option. We tested out the maxi length in a gorgeous yellow floral with pink accents.
This pattern ranges from 12 months up to 14 years and can be a great pattern for any age in between. Pick up your copy on the Little Lizard King website!
Bring on summer!
It has been a while since I have shared any of the new designs that I have had the pleasure of testing this year! The most recent test by Little Lizard King, the Lexington, is just too perfect not to share here. There are so many options with this pattern to make anything from a formal dress to a fun everyday top for those hot summer days.
The front bodice has a unique crossover design that could be an excellent place to play with fabrics. It has an optional "bodice band" that can be flat or gathered for added dimension. I made the simple everday fabric (with no bodice band) in a bright and sunny floral print perfect for summer.
The back is my favorite part of this dress- those strappy ties and back elastic casings allow for the perfect fit. They also make this dress great for the hot summer days we get here in the South!
There are many different options for the skirt included in the pattern as well from top length to tulle maxi and everything in between! Make sure you check out some of the formal versions in the pattern listing! This is the casual dress length.
The pattern ranges from size 12 months to 14 years, and looks fabulous on all ages. There are detailed instructions for achieving the perfect fit based on your child's measurements- and also tips on measuring. The pattern also includes detailed step by step instructions to guide you through making all versions of the pattern.
Lexington will release to the Little Lizard King website on Wednesday 5/2! Don't miss out on this fun summer dress!
