I love this little dress!!
Crisp and White with just a touch of color.
Baby Dress is made from the OFB pattern
This dress is one of three in an article I wrote for the latest issue of Sew Beautiful Magazine.
The embroidery at the yoke is Featherstitching and Bullion Rosebuds.
The sleeves are made from one wide piece of Swiss Edging.
I used luscious trim from Bear Threads!
I used a Swiss Batiste for the dress so it would match the trims.
Embroidered Roses are done in Anchor Floss. Pink - 48 and Green 1042.
I stitched Bullion Roses in the openwork area of the Swiss Edging.
I love the little touches of color against the white.
Close up of the Swiss.
I used a Swiss Insertions down the middle of the Dress and French lace on either side of it. Then the hem is finished with a matching Swiss Edging. The pink entredeux is threaded in and out of the entredeux edges of the Swiss trim. Next post I will show you how to do this.
And it buttons all the way down the back.
Hope you like my little white dress. It will look so sweet on a baby!
I plan to do a kit on my web site in the next day.
I am trailing along with Faded Charm for a fun White Wednesday!

Gorgeous!
I think my ♥ just skipped a few beats! This is breathtakingly beautiful, Jeannie!
I never would have thought to put bullion roses in the openwork area of the Swiss edging, yet it looks like it was meant to be there from the beginning.
This little dress belongs in a glass case, hanging on a gallery wall someplace...it is a work of ART!!
This is exquisite!!! So many sweet touches!!! this may take "Little Blue Dress's" place as my favorite!!!
