three penguins: Meet the newest pattern from Little Lizard King- the Lexington

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.
