Inspired by the La semaine De Suzette pattern "Tablier jardinière" of 1907, I designed an under-dress using a sleeve pattern from the same year. The combination works perfectly together in reproducing this classic early 1900's look

I used cotton lawn, in forget-me-not blue, to make the apron. I then embroidered a whimsical kitten and her fancy reticule on the front. I completely edge stitched with a couching stitch in cotton floss. The apron criss-crosses at the back and closes with two antique mother-of-pearl buttons and hand worked button holes.

The dress underneath is a reproduction "arts and crafts" era printed cotton in deep blue, slate blue and *milk chocolate* brown. It closes at the back with one metal hook and thread eye at the collar.

Of course your little girl must have new bloomers as well! These are vintage cotton lawn,woven with a pattern, and trimmed with fine French cotton lace. They close at the back with one antique carved mother of pearl button. So sweet!

Her soft leather mary janes are also included! The edges are hand embroidered with brown floss;the shoe closes with a gold tone buckle. They too were made from an LSDS pattern.

A perfectly delightful ensemble- fit to spoil the finest of dolls!
