LLK Style: Special Occasion Edition 2018
Spring and Summer bring special events to our lives every year. We celebrate family events: anniversaries, graduations, special birthdays and milestones we have receched. And we gather even more family and friends to share other precious moments with them, from the First Birthday parties to First Communions and Weddings.
We lovingly plan and photograph these events and in years to come, when looking back at the photos we remember the people, the music, the event location, and we remember THE dress we created for that day!
Let us here at Little Lizard King inspire you to create unique and individual dresses for the young ladies in your life for spring and summer events!
First we have Amsterdam. The Amsterdam dress has a beautiful back bodice closure with ties and the original pattern includes a simple and patchwork skirt options, But using seven layers of tulle for the skirt and special occasion fabrics Alejandra created a gorgeous Amsterdam dress for summer festivities.
The Amsterdam dress pattern would also be a perfect choice for the flower girls at a beach wedding! Karine added a beautiful lace inset to the Amsterdam bodice and a lace trim to the skirt. And for the little sister´s dress she added a decorative trim and topped the outfits with pretty flower crowns!
Bellevue dress pattern has been one of our spring favorites, and Rachael modfied this pretty dress style into a stunning maxi length special occasion dress. She added triple tulle layers for each layer of the double flutters. For a fuller skirt she added extra width to the skirt pieces and used two layers of tulle over matte satin.
Are you ready to be swoon? The Roundabout Dress pattern transfers beautifully from a woven fabric summer dress into a sophisticated special events dress.

Karine created these beautiful dresses for summer events using the Amsterdam and Mod dress and Mod Add On patterns. The Mod dress was her daughter´s First Communion Dress.
For a classic flower girl dress style Niina used the Misthaven pattern in swiss dot fabric with a flower and heart print, and added delicate little flowers to the neckline. For extra fulness for the skirt she added 4 layers of tulle and lining.
Hanny´s version of the Misthaven Dress in linen includes a beautiful bow and pretty trim in the skirt hem.
