*Crisp and playful* best describes this practical little ensemble for everyday wear. Inspired by the LSDS pattern "Pour protéger les jolies robes de Bleuette" this darling outfit is sure to make a hit with your *own* little Bleuette!
I used a cotton vintage plaid...blue stripes printed on a white background. The contrasting collar, bands and bow were sewn from a lustrous silk/cotton blend in a shade of "pewter gray". Tiny antique buttons (set in silver) grace the front ,while hidden snaps provide the closure. Meticulous hand topstitching was rendered in gray cotton thread, as well as red silk on the pockets.
Her matching bonnet was constructed from Swiss paglina hat braid. The edge was trimmed with the pewter fabric and embroidered with red silk thread. The matching ties sre embelished at the side with pleated silk bows and tiny paper rosebuds.
