"Recess"

Fabric:  Cotton plaid combined with white satin

Skirt fits a full petti, shown here on 17" 100-yard crystalline one (not included).  Pleated skirt falls in a beautiful circle.  Bottom tier is white satin, with narrow white lace trim on the hem.  Above the white ruffle is a narrower plaid ruffle with lace trim on the top and bottom edges, and is attached with white ruffled lace.

Flat bodice features a mock bib; a bib sewn on the center front with ruffles going from the center front to center back.  Ruffles are attached with the double ruffled satin-over-nylon lace trim.

Peter Pan collar features the double ruffled satin-over-nylon lace sandwiched between the layers.

Sashes stem from the side seams, and tie into a pretty bow over the center back zipper, with the ties falling beautifully over the back of the skirt.

Full pouffy sleeves are pleated at the shoulder for a professional finish. Elasticized for upper arm comfort.  Loosely fit 13" and will stretch.  Satin ribbon bows embellish the sides of the sleeves.

Shortie bloomers accompany the dress, with wide white lace along the leg openings.   Elasticized waist and leg openings.  Elastic loop at center back, to hang on hanger with dress.

Working with plaids is a challenge because it is important to match the plaid design wherever possible.  You will notice that all the skirt panels match, the panties match, even the side sash next to the bib matches exactly, and all the seams in all the ruffles match.   You may not notice at a glance, but you would definitely notice if the designs did not match!
