When I think of Easter, there is always one deliciously sugary treat that comes to mind. I don't mean Cadbury Eggs, but YUMMO! I mean the deliciously marshmellowy goodness of Peeps. Peeps used to be synonymous with Easter (and blowing things up in the microwave or at least trying to), though I guess now that they've seen a marketing opportunity you can get Peeps for just about any major holiday.
This is my very long-winded way of introducing the girls' Easter dress from one of our very favorite designers, tonimari. When tonimari first posted a swatch of this Easter fabric, which I immediately began referring to as the Peeps fabric, I was instantly drawn to it. It wouldn't be the first time my stomach influenced a decision. Cupcake fabrics anyone? The instant I saw it I knew Rory and Lane had to have an Easter dress made from the Peeps fabric.
It's no secret what big fans of tonimari we are, so it was no surprise the finished design was above and beyond what we could have imagined! This tonimari dress is almost too much cute in one place, and I couldn't stop smiling when I opened the package. It's apparent each and every detail was well though out. Let's work our way from top to bottom of this gorgeous creation, shall we?

The dress pulls together two very complimentary colors, cotton candy pink and Tiffany blue. The pink fabric has a beautiful glittery sheen to it, which makes this fun, bright, and vibrant pink sparkle as it catches the light, making it the perfect fabric for any of our girly girls. The cotton candy pink Peter Pan collar is trimmed with Tiffany blue ric rac and is accented with a coordinating polka dotted grosgrain ribbon bow in the same Tiffany blue with pink dots. The bodice of the dress has an embroidered chick doing an adorable little jig with an expression of pure glee on its face. The embroidered chick is dancing in an embroidered field among the wild flowers and butterflies. It is the perfect spring portrait, making this dress suitable for not only Easter, but Spring in general. The waist is belted with the same polka dotted grosgrain ribbon found on the collar, complete with a centered bow above the d-ring for easy leash attachment. Moving down to my very favorite part (and it was extremely hard to pick a favorite part amongst all the cuteness) is the skirt, which is made from what I referred to above as the Peeps fabric. This fabric has the same sparkly sheen as the cotton candy pink fabric. The irresistible pattern on this fabric has the Peeps reminiscent chicks floating between colorful eggs in solid, dotted, checkered, and flowered patterns in colors of pink, blue, and green. The bottom of the skirt has detailing typically reserved for only the fanciest of children's holiday wear and is edged in white eyelet with a satin Tiffany blue ribbon running through it with pink ric rac trim, pulling together the ric rac trim from the collar. As always, the perfect finishing touch is the seemingly never ending layer upon layer of shimmering Tiffany blue tulle, giving this dress even more oomph.
We just love everything about this dress, and it is simply gorgeous to watch it shimmer as Rory and Lane twirl (okay, more like spin in circles and pounce on toys) and the light catches the fabric. Any little girl would be lucky to have this tonimari dress for Spring. I think it's safe to say the designer behind tonimari has outdone herself yet again!
You might have noticed throughout this blog that I never call the dress by name. That is because the designer has yet to come up with a name that will do this lovely dress justice. If you have any suggestions, please share them!
