My two granddaughters, Ruth and Hannah were recently dedicated at church.  I was thrilled that my daughter was able to adjust the gown she was dedicated in to fit the youngest one, Hannah. 

I designed it with a high yoke abd puffy sleeves with elastic and lace edging, detailing the yoke with cute buttons, beading lace across the yoke and over the armholes, and pink ribbon trim.  There were three layers to the skirt with the slip underneath, a straight underskirt with an eyelet flounce and the top layer with a wide curved flounce.  The flounces were all set off with the beading lace and pink ribbon.  The length was perfect, so Corrie only needed to  extend the Velcro back and make the elastic in the sleeves a bit longer.  She finished up by embroidering Hannah’s name and dedication date on the back underskirt.

Corrie designed this dress and pinafore for Ruth, her oldest daughter.  The square necked pinafore with machine embroidery and lace shaping on the front, reaches the waist and adds lots of  lace edged gathers around the armholes.  The band sports regular sewing machine stitches in the light pink. 

The dress has a sweet lace edged color, puffy gathered sleeves and full skirt, with a scalloped and lace trimmed bottom edge.   She used lace insertions and machine embroidery with hearts, flowers and bows throughout for a darling outfit.   Beautiful dresses for a very special day.
