Welcome to the next stop on the Peekaboo Pattern Shop Summer Tour!
I'm very pleased to show you the Jackie dress: a lovely, little vintage-inspired piece that is simply divine.  And just for today, the pattern is only $5, plus you have the opportunity to win 3 patterns of your choice!  



Anja is wearing a size 18 months, and it fits a little big (she's slightly small for her age at 21 months).

I chose a very light peach linen fabric, accented by black & white polka-dotted cotton.  The tutorial for the piping is here.  I chose to only add the piping down the front, although the pattern does explain how to add it to the collar as well.  

I really liked the exposed zipper feature in the back that gives a pop of colour contrast.  This was a new technique for me, and I found the pattern explained it very well.


**this giveaway is now closed**

    The Vivienne party dress is my current favourite but I like your treatment of the Jackie dress and your daughter looks so sweet in it with her shiny black shoes.

    Hi Heidi..yet another pretty dress. Anja looks adorable....Love your version of the pattern .. the linen and black piping combination along with serge sleeves looks neat and elegant. All the peek a boo patterns they are fun and simple its very difficult to choose.. but my favorites are Isabella and jasmine dress:) After seeing your version would love to win the Jackie dress for my daughter.
