I can't wait to be more refined...really...;) this is awesome advice…I usually have to ask the ladies at the quilt shop about the sizes of prints and the ratio of print sizes per pattern…I admit I get a little too crazy in my print selection and my dd's clothes reflect that.

Although my four year old loves pink too so I made her Easter outfit using the Birthday Party Dress pattern in pink silk dupioni as well as the bow and it turned out very elegant without being too fussy (I sent the picture into the flickr group).<br /><br />Thank you so much...looking forward to the next topic in the series!!

I love all the examples, but I too adore the first outfit in the neutral colors. However it is nice to see a pink example, because as much as I try to influence her my 3 year old knows what she likes. Again, thank you for this series.

I am a bit of a wild child, so I do love pops of color and pattern, but usually limit it to an accessory, or a skirt, then paired with a very simple top, this same concept works well with my daughter who also (shockingly) loves to dress a bit crazily! awesome advice!

Are you teaching your little one fabric and fashion concepts (on a child scale, of course) so she can learn to see what you see? I am being genuine as I ask this.
