Fabric: Poly cotton blue & white gingham -
small checks and mini checks, combined with white 100% cotton
embroidered eyelet.
The full skirt fits over a very full petticoat, shown here on a 150-yard
crystal organza white petti, not included.
The 8-gored full skirt is made with the 1/4" blue checked fabric. The
bottom tier is made from a short strip of the tiny checks, and has 3"
flat floral white lace attached to create the hem, and a narrow white
flat lace along the top edge. It is ruffled up and attached with a
ruffled white nylon lace.
Above the bottom tier is a row of ruffled 100% cotton embroidered eyelet,
with white lace attached to the top edge. This lace sweeps up to
the center back and between the sweeps are yards and yards of ruffles.
The rufflebutt ruffles are made from the tiny checked print, with white
lace along the top edge as well as the hem. It is gathered up and
attached with ruffled white nylon lace.
The bodice is made from white eyelet, and features a heart made from the
larger check fabric. It is surrounded by the white embroidered ruffle
that matches the skirt, and is attached with ruffled white lace.
Above the peaks of the heart are tiny gingham print ruffles that are
made the same as the rufflebutt section of the dress, and these go up
and over the shoulders to the center back.
White ruffled lace is sandwiched between the two layers of the Peter Pan
collar, made from eyelet and lined in smooth white nylon lining.
The neckline is finished with white bias tape trim.
Sleeves are cut from the embroidered eyelet to create a beautiful edging
for the sleeves. They are pleated at the shoulder for a
professional finish, and are elasticized for a comfortable upper arm
fit.
The little apron is made from the embroidered edge of the white eyelet
fabric and stands on its own with a simple side seam, no other trim. It
is attached at the center front of the dress. The apron edge
matches the sleeve edges.
Sashes made from the larger checks stem from the side seams and create a
lovely bow above the center back ruffles.
The bloomers are made with elasticized leg openings and waistband for a
comfortable fit. The base of the bloomers is made from the larger check
print, and then three rows of the tiny gingham check print with white
lace are attached at the back.
