The other picture is Emma among the daffodils in my English garden. I love this one too and think it is portrait quality! Guess who took the pics?
We're working on getting ready to make a quick weekend trip to Iowa for our friends' wedding. Clint was asked to perform the ceremony. I am hastily making a new dress. I chose the Folkwear pattern number 265--the Afternoon Tea Dress. I found a silky fabric on sale for the underdress. It is a peachy, rosy, gold fabric that has a v-shape ironed into it--like a seersucker, but not cotton. The overdress/tunic is like chiffon. The print is dark brown with purple, peacock blue, and shades of rosy pink. The dress is a reproduction of the styles of the early 1900's when women donned loose comfortable
Sweet, sweet little girls. Love the pictures. Of course we'll need to see the dress too, but it sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of the girls! Even though Miss Emma has a bruise on her forehead from hitting the door. You'll definitely need to post pictures of the dress because I did not understand a word of the description!! lol Way over my head...but I'm crafty and sewing more and more now so my knowledge is growing!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely post pics of the dress, but maybe not on me. Probably on the dressmaker's dummy which always 'wears' things well! It's an early 1900's loose, flowy type of style. Some of my favorite era in fashion!
