Materials for the champagne dress. I probably won't use all the different laces. Not sure about those gold balls--I was thinking of attaching them to the ends of the ropy decoration.
The nightgown with the lace robe. The lace was surprisingly easy to handle; I basted it to ordinary tissue paper and sewed it on the machine.
A closeup look at the bodice. The neckline trim is crocheted. I tried it with the same lace as the wrist trim, but it looked too crowded and ruffly. The little "brooch" is a flat spacer bead, sewn on.
Here you can see the back of the dress. I think a cascade of lace would look nice attached to the underskirt and coming out from under the top.
Posy here is modeling the peacock dress in progress. I just need to put the last trimmings and the snaps on.
Skirt of the peacock dress put together. The blue in the picture is lighter than it really is.
I think of this one as Lottie's traveling outfit. In antique white with black trim, a jacket over a short-sleeved dress with a gathered drape and two rows of pleats.
A sketch of a dress for Heather's Lottie. Champagne-colored satin trimmed with ivory lace and long tassel trim at the front waist.
