An iridescent silk is the basis for our charming child’s dress from the 1840’s. The bodice and skirt are separate pieces. The bodice features a wide neckline that skims the top of the shoulders. The neckline and waist edge of the bodice are trimmed with a narrow piping of ombre silk. Pinked ruffles are added to the bodice front and are further accented with tiny pearl beads, French knots and ribbon embroidery trim.
“Buds ‘n Bows” French silk ribbon trim surrounds the neckline and is looped at the center front. The full sleeves end in lace covered cuffs which are piped and embellished with embroidery and pearls.
Vertical
bands of lace are sewn to the full skirt front. The pinked ruffles are
repeated on the skirt, and sewn in a serpentine fashion over the lace.
Tiny pearls, ribbon embroidery and French knots add to the richness of
the trim.
KITS ARE AVAILABLE FOR $50.00 (INCLUDES PATTERN)
