Fairy Fun

Little Miss H and I went to The Fairies concert last week, to see Harmony & Rhapsody in the flesh! Sadly, no Rhys though, mind you the stand in Elf did some quite spectacular tricks (you know, somersaults in the air and the like). There was one late night, and one long Sunday putting together her outfit. She had wanted a dress like Harmony, and had insisted on the insipid purple and pink combo. I tried my hardest to steer her towards something a little more subtle, maybe green or blue, but she would have none of it. I followed a simplicity pattern, which actually has a zip, but as I used panne velvet I fully lined the bodice, and left out the zip. I must confess it was a tad more difficult than I had anticipated, particularly with the netting underneath. But Harper was happy, and felt very fairy like, and I think she looked the part.I wasn't totally happy with the outfit, but as soon as she had it on she was so happy and I thought she was gorgeous. Here is a photo of her looking her best...
