Allspice Dress – Paisley Roots

I’m so excited to finally share Bean’s favorite fall dress with you!  The Allspice Dress pattern by Paisley Roots is on tour this week along with a giveaway and a link up so let’s kick off the tour in style.


This summer I was a tester for the Allspice and I immediately fell in love.  There are four sleeve options: flutter, cap, sleeveless, and my current favorite the long sleeve.

This dress is perfect for the cooler weather we’ve had this fall.  The fabric I used for this version is a stretch sateen from JoAnn and Bean calls it her “spooooooooky dress.”   It’s probably the most complimented dress that she wears.

The colors are striking and though it may be hard to see in these pics, the pin tucks on both sides of the button placket are just the right detail for such a busy fabric.

The bodice has the option of a button or zippered front placket and I made a zippered version as well.  I love that polka dot fabric, but Bean decided to have two huge growth spurts in a row right after I made this dress so it no longer fits.  The stand out zipper is really fun though.

I also made a sleeveless version in size 6-12M for my friends’ little girl.  I like the sleeveless option so it can be used with layers in the cold weather and alone when it warms up.  You may remember that I made Bean’s Saffron Twirl (pattern also by Paisley Roots) birthday dress out of this Wee Wander fabric too.  I had a bit left and it just had to be an Allspice.

And yet another 6-12M sleeveless Allspice for one of my husband’s co workers who had their first baby earlier this fall.  I didn’t get a great picture of that one so the picture above is the best I have, hehe.  I do love those polka dots and the snaps are just the right shade of purple too!

The pattern comes in sizes 6-12M through 12.  The two baby sizes I’ve already mentioned, but the polka dot one I made for Bean is a 3T and the “spooky” dress is a size 4T.  You can purchase the Allspice Dress pattern at 25% off through Sunday using the code BLACKFRIDAY.

The square neckline is another detail that I just adore.  And look at the billowy shape of the skirt.  I can’t wait to see all of your Allspice Dresses.  Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway and link up your dresses below!

    Eep. So cute! Ansley just drew out a dreaa she wants me to make and it's surprisingly difficult to find long sleeved dress patterns. This would be perfect.

    These are really nice comfy sleeves too Emily. Even with the stiffer corduroy they aren't tight or uncomfortable. I love how they look too.

You guys, this girl is having a real hair moment. You guys, this girl is having a real hair moment. After waiting literal years for her hair to grow in, itโ€™s now turned into an 80โ€™s rocker look with how spikey it all is on top and the extra length in back๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† 
But we LOVE this Journal Jumpsuit from @jennuinedesign and she LOVES wearing it to jump on the couch. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Sheโ€™s a real talker these days so I had to use the Story Teller cut file, also from the Lounge Library collection.  Check out @projectrunandplay for the details on the sale on this pattern this week only!
Fabric is a lush French terry from @knitfabricdotcom and the contrast is a solid from @wolfandrabbitfabrics

Have you seen the mini season of @projectrunandpla Have you seen the mini season of @projectrunandplay details yet?  Iโ€™m super excited about everyone sharing more of the Project Lounge Library collection and the freebies weโ€™re offering!  First up is this perfectly sized book tote from @jennuinedesign. My girl LOVED the one I made from the second she saw it Christmas morning!  The cut file design is also from the collection as well as her nightgown ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
Thereโ€™s a whole Percy Jackson collection inside there along with three other (heavy) books, so itโ€™s a nice sturdy tote that holds plenty!

I read lots of different genres, including a few oldie juvenile favorites to preview for or read alongside my daughter. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

Itโ€™s a quick sew and the baby needed a hooded towel so now sheโ€™s all set. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

I've always loved making. At an early age I started cross stitching and sewing and I taught myself to knit and crochet during college. When our seven year old daughter Bean was born I was filled with all sorts of inspiration, so now I find ways to manage my crafty time and treasure those moments. Though sewing is what I'm most passionate about these days, there's something about the portability of yarn crafts and embroidery that keeps drawing me back in.
