For this Red, White, and Blue "Little Miss America" tutu dress we are welcoming back Nicole Weldon from The Local Hummingbird! Nicole teamed up with our adorable Brand Rep Henleigh and her mama for this dress. Henleigh modeled it and her mom Samantha photographed it for us, and we think the results could not be any more adorable! Make sure to follow Henleigh on Instagram! Thank you Nicole, Henleigh, and Samantha - y'all are a dream team!  Henleigh is ready to celebrate Independence Day in style, and we've included the details to make your own patriotic tutu dress for the 4th of July!

Materials:

Lined red crochet top

Shabby Stars for embellishing

Tulle:

Red, White, and Blue Tulle by the Roll

1. Start with the front of crochet top facing towards table with seam (back) facing crafter.

2. Begin to brick weave the 20" strips into desired pattern. Complete 4 rows for fullness.

3. The pattern I chose was the following from bottom to top:

Layer (4) Solid blue

Layer (3) Blue and White (Every other)

Layer (2) White and Red (Every other)

Layer (1) Solid Red

4. Now add the sash (like previous creations). For this tutu dress I chose to do 3 strips of 36" (one yard each).

5. I then added and placed shabby stars as desired. Get creative and feel free to place anywhere and everywhere... this creation can not have enough dazzle!
