Eight weeks ago my friend Emily delivered a beautiful baby girl ten weeks early. Baby Kathleen is tiny but strong, and she is finally home from the hospital.
Smitten with the delicate, embroidered details around the suit's pants legs, I cut one of them off and made it into a preemie-sized day gown. Only ten inches from shoulder to hem, I'm pretty sure this is the tiniest "pillowcase dress" ever made.
Little Kathleen will look fresh, summery, and as pretty as a pixie wearing it. My hope is that she'll outgrow it quickly {a girl doesn't need to be so itty-bitty for very long}... then big sister Meredith can use it as a doll dress.

It's lovely! And so lovely to see your beautiful name here, too! ;)
Beautiful, I hope the baby grows fast too and is too big for it. In the meantime it's a work of art.
Oh it is so beautiful! I had a premie and would have cried had I received anything that fabulous!
The perfect gift for a delicate little girl. And the color reminds me of sherbet too.
That is really beautiful! It looks so light and airy and perfect for summer.
