Handmade winter clothing swap

We got a parcel on our doorstep yesterday and I was very excited to find a gorgeous dress for J.  Its an Ottobre pattern, and it is just lovely.  Its a good fit for J, a little on the big side, which I prefer anyway so that she'll get plenty of wear out of it.

The pattern is much more subtle in reality than it appears in this picture.

And check out the beautiful little detail of the ribbon.  It matches the fabric perfectly.  I am really thrilled with it, and I can't wait to see P's swap.  Thank you very much swappee.
