More Vintage Apron Girlie Dresses







Two of the little vintage apron dotty
dresses for the little girls in Seattle.
Each has a babushka to match, and
one of the little tiny lavender dolls to
match the little girl who wears the
dress. These old linens were once
dresser scarves. Made by ladies
who embroidered their souls into
their work.

Rachel's Vintage Apron Dress


Size 12 Girlie Girl dress for Rachel.
The apron is from a vintage finger
tip towel of linen; vintage-looking
faded blue roses on taupe for the
dress; and cream and blue puffy
cuffs and sash. I added a mother
of pearl tab closure at the neck, as
it was a little open otherwise. She
likes the longer length, or rather
Mom and Dad do.

Rachel's Polkadot Apron Dress


Rachel wanted a dress
with an apron too. For
this larger size, we did
a square neckline with
a more fitted bodice &
added a sash to tie in
the back. She has a
blue babushka and a
little blue dotty tote
of oilcloth in the same
pattern.
I am getting itchy to
make some more of
these dresses!
