LILLIES OF THE VALLEY
More lillies for the daygown. Bishop yoke has front opening and green ruffle.
The full view of the gown.
AN HEIRLOOM DRESS
Those tiny pintucks without shoulder seams or set in sleeves. A one piece dress with side seams and back placket!
The hem was tedious, but so worth it, it reminded me of a wedding cake. I hand embroidered this with one strand of DMC floss thoughout.
The buttons attached with embroidered french knot for the top of a flower and the middle stem and sides are a lazy daisy stitch to make the leaves.
A layette for a princess, Emily, with embroider lillies, I call her "my lily." I crocheted the blanket. Upper hankie bonnet and jacket are Irish Linen, the bonnet can be taken apart by pulling one string and used for her wedding day as a hankie and completely french handsewn hemstitch to attach the lace which has lillies. The dress and slip are cotton batiste. I use all french laces.
