starting next week is the sally dress pattern tour! some of my favorite bloggers will be joining in with their versions of the sally dress!

but before i could kick off the tour i had to show off some of my fabulous testers versions! honestly my testers were AMAZING. we did 3 rounds of testing for this dress to get as good a fit as possible for a woven dress with no closures for sizes 2T-8. not an easy feat i tell ya. there's also some fun pockets, and sleeve options - yay!  some of these women made 6+ dresses (renee of two many you are a superstar)! so amazing! i could not have released this pattern without their invaluable help, time, suggestions and support. you guys rock!!! not everyone's pictures are shown here (this post would be wayyyy too long) but my thank you goes out to ALL of them :)

please take the time to show them some love and pop by their blogs to see their own posts about their sally dresses! they are all so talented.
