This darling ensemble was inspired by the La Semaine de Suzette pattern Robe d ete 1908 (Summer Dress)- a classic early 1900's silhouette for your own darling Bleuette!
My version was sewn from a delicate printed cotton; delicate posies in warm hues grace a background of antique white. This lovely summer dress is made elegant by the bands of silk crepe in *poppy* crimson, which are hand embroidered with floss in *ash* gray .The back closes with one hook at the neckline, one tiny glass flower shaped button, and hand worked loops.
The matching straw bonnet was made from a wide band of wheat straw and Swiss hat braid, formed on a hat mold of my own design. It is unlined and trimmed with a matching silk bow of crepe. I then finish it with my own couture label.
So charming and feminine , this outfit is sure to make you swoon!!!
