We're going to a birthday party today for one of Lily's little friends. Her mom is totally into Elvis. This is the first dress I did with the belt, I am so happy with how it came out. I've gotta make Lily one ASAP.

ETA: Robert's mad that I'm giving this as a gift because he thinks I should sell the dress for $75. Believe it or not, it would sell for that in the stores around here, but I'd never have the balls to sell it for that kind of price. Plus this woman invited both my kids to the party, which was really nice of her. Need to justify anyone?

Oh, wow. That is really terrific. When you make that kind of thing for sale, how much do you charge? And is your website running?

I'm not all that into Elvis and DANG, I want that for Ben! Oh, wait...

Robert needs to chill the hell out. Did you used to make (and enjoy making) gifts for friends and their kids before you opened Cute Threads? Why should that change just because you have a business doing it? All work and no fun make you not want to work.

That is freaking adorable. Thankfully I'm neither an Elvis fan nor a mother of girls, so I can withstand the temptation to drool (overmuch.) But I wanted to echo again (since a couple of posts back you seem to doubt this fact which is obvious to the rest of us) that you are amazingly talented.

I've actually been inspired to make my first set of pants! They look terrible, but the process amused me (and amused my dad who donated his old jeans to the project.) Perhaps I'll even feel up to tackling Halloween costumes again this year. (I "assembled" with minimal sewing some costumes two years ago with halfway decent results, in fact I probably sent you that card. But since then I've been afeared of the machine. Now I'm trying to psych myself up by searching for sewing tables, on the assumption that if the machine has a home, it might get used more often.)

That is so cute!!! $75 easy. I think your stuff is all in that price range, or higher. Set your prices higher than you think everyone will pay. You'll be surprised.

Your hubby needs to chill. Maybe you should explain to him the free advertising you can get by giving friends 'free samples'?

What a fantastic dress! A Lilo and Stitch fan would go nuts for this too!

jen that is fucking fabulous. of course you should give it as a gift but then you should make more to sell. you have got to make some connections at boutiques, because you could really rake it in, imo.

Holy Christ!! 21 comments??

First off, I don't think you could sell this in a store, because you use the likeness of Elvis Presley, which I;m sure his estate owns and leases out only at very steep price points.

Second-- Layne so totally wants one of these dresses! Its easily worth $75.
