Last week I told you about a birthday surprise I am planning for my daughter. Guess what?
The dress is already finished! Here are the photos that the seamstress sent for my approval:
All I can say is, “wow”. The color and styling are exactly what I’d hoped for! I don’t think I could’ve imagined a more perfect dress for my little Miss Fairfax. I love the layered skirt, and wasn’t it a great idea to sew the ribbon belt into place around the front? My daughter is going to LOVE this dress!
Now, I’m on the hunt for a locket. I think a pretty little silver locket would look just right with this dress, don’t you? I can already imagine the pictures I’d like to take of her wearing it: by soft window light reading a favorite book, at her grandmother’s baby grand piano playing a tune, sitting on a hierloom quilt embroidering a cushion…(sigh)
This dress makes me happy.
Oh my word. She is going to LOVE this. What a beautiful thing to do for her!!! And she’ll never forget it! 🙂
Soooo…awesome. And the dress looks great!
(And p.s. – don’t you LOVE that new Emma movie? My Mom got it for me for Christmas… 😉
Thanks, Jessie! She is going to be really surprised! Yes, we love that movie-definitely one of our favorite Jane Austen remakes ever! The light in every scene is so beautiful!
