...but here's what we came up with. :)
For Nora's I use a basic yoked bodice pattern, with a puff sleeves which I put elastic on the bottom of to form a ruffle, a square cut skirt, with a ruffle on the bottom... Pretty simple over all... :)
And the back.
On Alliene's I used a very simple yoked dress base. Then just did puff sleeves this time with an actual band on the bottom.
Back....
Onto the 'bloomers'. The pattern for these is basically a sloper with some width added. There's elastic in the waist and 2 rows of lace on the hem...
And last, but not least we have the adorable little girls....
They turned out pretty cute if I may say so myself. I kinda hated to send them off. :D
Love,
Brooke
*sorry for the poor quality of the photos. My main photographer was working when I made these. So the lightning was never right when she was home. Which meant I had to take them. :S lol

Thanks so mch, Tara!
Aw, that's so kind of you my dear Kate. :)
You are more than welcome :D.. I must admit it would have killed me just to sew them knowing you can't keep 'em.. let alone box them and mail them :(.. Guess more are on the docket for your hope chest, right? *wink*.. Any girl would feel like a princess in a dress like that! I sure would have when I was that young...
But I had moms amish aprons to dress up and get my picture taken and that had to do for then.. sniff, sadly I didn't have you to make me ones like "this"!
You're amazingly talented dressmaker ya know! Those girls are lucky and thats all there is to it!
