I wasn't sure, though, since we obviously haven't been around the family since the girls were born, whether or not the mother likes dressing the girls alike or not.
Because if she did, these dresses would be perfect.
If she purposefully tries not to dress them alike, though, something like this...
... or this would be better.
There is also a possibility in my mind that she likes for them to match, but not be identical, in which case, I should give her these dresses.
Happily, I was able to do it because I made the dresses reversible. Each one can be worn with the (mostly) solid print out or in. I had tried that before, but the problem was the need to have buttons that would be on the inside (since there are buttons on both sides) and I didn't want anything to poke the baby. At Joanne's, though, I found felt buttons which solved the problem all together.I also tried do-it-yourself appliques on these. Mostly, I cut out butterflies from the remnants of the "busy" side of the fabric and then did a very close zigzag stitch all around them.
On the one hand, it means that they are more than a little lop-sided. On the other hand, I think it makes them obviously homemade and therefore made with love. :)
