Daisy's Easter Dress: Done!

Here are photos of Daisy's Easter dress, the first to be finished. I had so much fun doing the embroidery. I made several changes to the pattern: lined the bodice instead of using bias tape binding, pleated the skirt instead of gathering, and gathered the sleeves into sleevebands rather than using elastic. The fabric is handkerchief linen.

  2. I agree, how beautiful! I recognize the embroidery from SB, and the whole dress has a Jeanne Beaumeister (sp?) look to it. You must be anticipating warm weather for Easter--here, it could still be spitting snow, though we trust it will be warm.

    Thank you so much for sharing!
