Suebesewing 1940s Daisies Dress for Susan

Here we are again peeking at the new dresses Susan has received upon her arrival at Badger's Wood. This charming dress was purchased from Ebay seller suebesewing and included the dress in a light blue fabric with daisies, dots and sparkles; a tie-on yellow ribbon belt with pearly heart accents; and a delightful bucket hat which keeps the sun out of Susan's eyes.

This dress is in the style of Molly's sleeveless birthday pinafore dress. Penny has always liked the pattern/style of the dress but for some reason the sheer whiteness of the pinafore was not calling out to her.

Suebesewing's version of the pattern is quite lovely. The shoulder ruffles only have one layer- so they are not too bulky. And the skirt has two tiers- making it look fuller and fancier. The light blue rickrack trim on the shoulder ruffles and the skirt layers is an understated, yet eye catching way to make the dress more detailed and beautiful. Thank you suebesewing- Susan loves this dress!

My next post will feature a whole bunch of "Converse" sneakers or "Chucks" from The Crazy Doll Ladies Designs. Of course these aren't handcrafted in the USA, but instead come from China. However, The Crazy Doll Ladies also carry a whole bunch of different handmade goods. Until next time, please check out their cool blog.
