Decisions, Decisions

So I paid about $1.50 for this yard of pale pink linen today for Lilah's Easter dress.

ETA:  I tried posting a pic of the linen, but it looks mauve.  It is not at all mauve.  It is definitely baby pink.

I need help picking which of these patterns to use.




I tried to line up my three view pics in a row:

The first is the sleeveless blue. I would do either a white, yellow or purple sash. Maybe some embroidered springy looking linen to match. Not sure.

The second is the cap sleeve with the apron. An apron of white eyelet would be perfect, perfect, perfect.

The third is the full dress view; again, maybe have the embroidered linen as the inset pieces and contrast ruffle or do a white batiste inset with pale pink monogram.

Decisions, decisions. I guess it depends on what I can find to go with it!

And yes, this should be at the craft blog, but no one responds there and this is an actual need for opinions. Lol

I won't say which one I'm currently leaning toward, but I do have a favorite in mind...

I love the first option but think it would look better in a darker/more vibrant color than baby pink.

My vote is option 2. Cap sleeves with an eyelet apron would be just darling! And you don't see too many dresses like that out and about. Love it!

I love the first option also, I think a yellow sash would be fun with the pink. Second in line would be the apron dress. But the sleeveless is my favorite.

All cute choices. My vote is the second one...mainly because it has some sleeves. You never know what the weather will be like at Easter. And I think she'll really like the apron. Sort-of Alice in Wonderland-ish.

You know me, the tomboy. My vote is the first option. (Not that it's tomboyish, just less girly. Not that girly's bad!)Both are adorable!
