Fabric: Royal blue lightweight satin combined with
white bridal satin
Lined bodice features an attached bib, to create a cute pinafore effect.
Bib and ruffles are made from contrasting white satin, and go from front
to back over the shoulders. They are attached with double ruffled white
satin-over-nylon lace. Inside bodice is lined with royal blue
broadcloth to build in stability.
Peter Pan collar has double ruffled satin-over-nylon lace sandwiched
between the layers and is attached with a bias strip made of white satin.
Hook and eye closure.
Full 8-gored skirt is serged, and hand-pleated at the waist seam for
a professional finish. Bottom tier features a ruffle made from the
satin, with wide white lace on the hem, and narrow flat lace along
the top edge. It is attached with narrow white ruffled lace.
The upper ruffle is also made from the satin, with narrow flat white lace
along the top edge, with 1" trim on the hem, and is attached with double
ruffled white lace. It sweeps up slightly at each skirt intersection and
features a white satin ribbon bow at each lift.
A white satin self-lined apron is attached, with a white satin ruffle
trimmed in white lace on the top edge and 1" lace on the hem, and is
attached with the double ruffled white satin-over-nylon lace. Two
white satin bows sit at the intersecting waist seam.
Skirt will fit over a 100-yard crinoline (not included).
White satin sashes stem from the side seams to create a perky bow over the
center back, to help create the illusion of a separate pinafore.
Full pouffy sleeves are hand pleated at the shoulder for a professional
finish and elasticized at the upper arm for a comfortable fit.
Hems are finished with wide floral scalloped white lace. A blue satin
ruffle is attached with narrow white ruffled lace. A white
satin ribbon bow embellishes bottom of the ruffle.
Shortie bloomers accompany this dress, with three rows of ruffles on the
back. They are lined with royal blue broadcloth for stability.
Elasticized at the waist and leg openings for a comfortable fit.
White bow embellishes the side seams. Label and elastic at the
center back, to allow to hang on a hanger with the dress.
Two barrette hair bows finish off this ensemble.
