Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a fantastic one. Woohoo – it’s just about the weekend!!

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing the most precious of dresses, made by Chonte Simmons of DaeMoo & Co. DaeMoo & Co. started when Chonte wanted to her daughters to dress uniquely, while accessorizing and expressing their individual girly styles with bracelets, necklaces, and other fun accessories. Pursuing her own love for handbags, she started to design and make her own – along with diaper bags – and her business continued to blossom from there. Now she designs and sells all sort of unique pieces for both mommy and kids. Her shop name is inspired by her daughters, Journey (Dae) and Jordyn (Moo), and adores all the pretty fabric (especially anything sparkly!).

Chonte recently came across our Love Letters by Jane Farnham collection. Inspired by the sweet patterns and muted colors, she chose to make an adorable tea-styled little girl’s dress. We love how she chose to create a dress out of the gift tag print, and complimented it perfectly with a pastel peach peter pan collar & sash. And the lace trim – so feminine and pretty! We just adore this dress, and can imagine a darling little girl twirling around in this dress!

Thank you so much, Chonte, for the fabric love and for sharing it with us on Instagram! What a lovely treat to end the week… Have a fantastic weekend everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
