Heirloom Dresses...I have been working on these for awhile now...all together six of them from size 6 to 6 months...five are here. All bodices were done totally in the hoop...I digitized my own pattern and bodice detail and the bodices are large, medium, small, xsmall and xxsmall...my little ones loved them and they all fit perfectly. The lengths come to just above their ankles and range from 34" to 17" in length. I am very happy with them!

Are the openings on the shoulder, and closed with the pretty bows? These are just beautiful!
1 comment
Yes, the dresses tie at the shoulder so they can be adjusted as the girls grow...

These are just simply stunning and the little girls will look just so beautiful in them. A lot of work but certainly well worth the effort you put into them

These dresses you've done are very adorable. I'd wondered about how long it took you to digitize& what software did you use?Thanks for sharing them& God's blessings.:~D
1 comment
The actual digitizing didn't take long a all...what took the time was coming up with the bodice pattern and sizing it for all the girls...one wears a 6, one wears a 5, one wears a 4, one wears a 3, one a 2 and one 6 months size...I used Janome MBPro3 software for these.

Your dresses are stunning. Do you plan to create others or will this be all?
1 comment
I do plan to do more...since I digitized the bodice pattern to be sewn in the hoop, I plan to change the embroidery designs within the bodice and go from there...lots of choices for variations...thanks for your comments.

The patterns are my own...I designed and digitized the bodices and also the skirts. The bodices are done totally in the hoop from start to finish...and then the skirts are constructed and sewn to the finished bodice. The bodices are designed so that the embroidered parts can be totally changed out for other border and center designs. I plan to do another set with completely different embroidery around the perimeter of the bodices and center motifs...the possibilities are endless...

Thank you for your comments...I am looking forward to seeing pictures of all of the girls..they all live on the East Coast of the USA...and I am on the West Coast...boo hoo..but sewing for them helps me stay connected...
Yes, it has been hard to make clothing for my little granddaughter when they are not close and the parents do not have a tape measure. lol

These little dresses are just beautiful...you have done a great job with the designs and doing your own digitizing...with great details...THIS is what embroidery is all about....great presentation also...
2 comments
Thank you...the digitizing is the part that is the most difficult for me..the actual sewing is a bit time consuming for all six dresses, but easy pezy!
you did an awesome job!

I have designed these...digitized the bodice to be sewn and finished in the hoop...then the skirt is constructed and sewn to the bodice...it is designed to be able to add any design to the basic bodice to change it up...the possibilities are endless...thank you for your comments....I am still deciding if I should post in DBC or offer them for sale...
They are just beautiful, I hope you will see the designs I just love them.
How close are we to getting these beautiful designs for our little ones???
