Yellow Angel Wing

This is a dress I made several years ago for one of my granddaughters. She looked so cute in it. It will soon fit her little sister. It is made of soft yellow Imperial batiste and smocked in greens, pale orange and white and trimmed in white lace and pearl buttons. This is a comfortable dress for little girls and yet looks so "girly". I can made this same dress in pink or white--or most any other pastel you like. I can also make the sleeves banded rather than "winged".

Smocked dresses are so practical and because of the construction of the bishop pattern like the ones photographed here, they will fit a little girl for many seasons--and then be passed down to sisters or cousins.

Let me know what you think of this dress.
