Mother's Day Dresses

I am so happy that I finished them before Mother's Day, even with a day to spear.  YEA!!!!!  As you can see I love this dress pattern, its from Ottobre Spring 2007 issue, #11.  It is a basic everyday dress, yet can be a dress for a special occasion.  I don't have a serger but figured out how to make the lettuce edge with my sewing machine.  I basically used a short zigzag stitch to create the lettuce edge.  On the dress sized 92 I decided to leave out the elastic and add the lettuce edge.  I think it came out very nice.  I also did the hems with the lettuce edge.  I like that the lettuce edge is very girly.   Here are some pictures
