BLUEBIRD TEXTILES

1909 Embroidered Dress And Blouse Spring is here and this wonderful style of jumper and blouse is perfectly suited for a season of lighthearted joy. To create this costume I used a pattern from La Semaine de Suzette of 1909. I stayed faithful to the original suggested color scheme- turkey red with blue butterflies. The blouse is batiste with fine twin needle tucks and Val lace gracing the collar and cuffs. It closes with 3 tiny snaps at the back. The jumper is linen with a silk/linen hand embroidered bodice using the original design of butterflies and raspberries. It closes at the back with 2 hooks and eyes. Treat your own darling Bleuette to costume of simple elegance, perfectly suited for a child whose spirit is as free as the creatures stitched upon her breast. NOTE: doll, socks and shoes are not included.

About

My skills at dressing Bleuette are a culmination of textile endeavors that began at the tender age of five years old when my mother taught me how to embroider. I continued to explore fiber art through sewing, dyeing, weaving and felting until I was reintroduced to dolls and the amazing possibilities of dressing them. Few dolls have captured my interest so thoroughly. Like so many other Bleuette devotees, she has shown me a way to express my interest in history, fine craftsmanship, haute couture and the wonderful frou-frou of little girls.
