winter white


Mabel sang with a small children's choir on Christmas Sunday, so I thought a new dress was in order. Let me tell you something, every little girl needs a pretty white dress. They work for every occasion and every season. This time I used Simplicity 2460, but altered the sleeves. I used a cream handkerchief linen and lined the inside with remnants from a wedding dress alteration I did a couple of years ago. I love the way it feels, and I think Mabel does, too.
