Retro Dress


Doll Clothes

A cute duo I made up for neighbor. My favorite part is the bloomers!



Blessing Dress

Isn't she precious? I was asked to make this blessing dress for her. The design is simple and has a little bit of flower trim and a couple of bows. The bottom of the dress (too long for these pictures) has a beautiful eyelet design.


Red Top

This was a fun little top I made. The original design I drew had straps, but I decided to skip it. Here my sister models it for Valentines Day.

Spring Floral Colonial Gown

My second colonial gown! I can't have enough of these. I don't have the right straw hat for it yet, but the hat I used gets the point across.

My sketches (I'm not much of an artist! One of them I colored in the lines on the computer and it looks much better, but it was a preliminary sketch so it doesn't match the finished dress.)


 The Dress:





Alice Roosevelt Gown

My sister was to participate in her school's "wax museum" (children pick a famous person from American history, research them and pretend to be wax figures of them on display in a museum). My sister decided to be Alice Roosevelt, and for her costume she gave me this picture of A. Roosevelt to copy:
Picture she gave me
My Rendition of it
(I added the tassels for fun)

This dress is my spin off of the Renaissance times:
