Historically inspired by the 18th century, a princess dress in pink satin and cream taffeta....
This morning, I sent this ensemeble off for a little girl's birthday party. I had quite a good time making it - actually it was a variation on another 18th century style dress I did last year.
Although, I have to admit I like this one better. :)
Dress can be seen here in the shop.
Isn't little sis adorable?
A ruffled taffeta petticoat to match! I think it gives the skirt a nice shape.
Can now be seen here in my shop.
Details.
I used two different types of trim put together - the cream laced cord, and some lovely organza rose, pearl and lace stuff.
This has me itching to sew some actual, historically constructed 18th dresses......but that must wait for a while yet! Still been super busy on Regency dresses - hope to have pictures posted of that soon!
