Battle of the Stitches Round 5 Reveal #8

Design #8

Here's what the Designer had to say:

Bursting Spring Wings
As the brutal cold of winter lets go, gravitation to warmth, with bright vivid color begins to influence our thoughts.  This design captures elements on trend as well as the retro mementos we can all relate to.  Asymmetric lines, drop shoulders, open airy construction all call out to the young in us while the worsted weight cotton yarn offers weight to hold some of the remaining cold at bay.  As the season progresses, the cotton fiber will offer a wicking away quality making this the perfect pop for wear after a day at the beach or poolside.  Add this layer to your wardrobe and Burst into Spring.

Here's what the designer had to say:

Wings of Spring Toddler Empire Dress and Headband Set

“There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.
One of these is roots; the other, wings.” – Hodding Carter

This intricate dress pattern is easily followed and utilizes a multitude of techniques using Baby Bee Sweet Delight yarn. The final masterpiece is elegant enough for the church pew but also light and airy enough for Easter egg hunting in the spring sunshine. The matching headband completes the set and helps to bring together the motif flower embellishing both pieces.
