Hi everyone,
Just a simple request… could a couple of you try sending me a quick email with just a random simple comment using the “Contact Me” tab at the top of my blog post? I’m trying to figure out something and need your input to see if it is working for everyone. Thanks!
Well, well, well… I finished the dress part of Felicity’s newest outfit! I can hardly believe it! She looks very pretty in it and wanted to show you what a “real” Colonial girl would have looked like 250 years ago! I really wish I could have gotten this totally finished in time for the Celebration of America, but that didn’t happen, so it will just have to be “Another Pretty Dress” hanging in Felicity’s closet waiting to be worn on some special occasion.
Let’s see what I did:
I hemmed her dress by machine since my thread matched perfectly. If it hadn’t, I would have hemmed it by hand.
I found some silk ribbon in my stash that worked very well with the French knots I made around the neckline and added dainty little bows to each sleeve.
Felicity’s hair had been pulled up in a clip and when I let it down, she looked so pretty, so I just pulled it back away from her face on each side and added a clip at the back… (just for now!)
This is what she looks like from a distance.
I found a slip I had previously made and put it under her dress. It’s pink, but it has the right amount of fullness to hold her dress out wonderfully.
She does look very Colonial now, don’t you think?
I’ll see what else I can come up with…
Thanks everyone,
Blessings, Jeanne
