Her birthday dress

 

The dress I made for daughter to wear on her special day, her birthday. Some may remember this fabric. It is the same fabric I used to make her sister's dress. Actually this is another version with the same combo. Another matching dress for the sisters.

  I was busy with some personal work and started working on this dress very late, so I kept it very simple. As per my daughter's wish it was a long (floor length) dress with velvet shrug. 

 Some more views of the dress.  Back...

without shrug...

The dress is incomplete without the matching accessories. So, here they are, the matching hair band...

Necklace and earrings

Excuse the  quality of the pictures. The dress is wrinkled. Our iron box is repair and not yet fixed.There are some lines in the back ground. They are not  lines, I cannot just call the creativity of my daughters as lines. Either, the walls has the paintings by my daughters or there is no good light for the pictures.

Happy sisters...

Her Birthday dress

 One more year completed... And my dear little one is now 2 years old. 
 I made two dresses for her.
 Instead of skirt and blouse I made a long dress in silk.

When she grows up, I can use it as top and pair it with leggings(what an idea!!!!:))

Her birthday dress and accessories

We celebrated our daughter's  birthday this week. I am sharing with you the birthday dress and accessories I made for her.

Just have a look on this little princess...

I don't know whether to call this shade as purple or violet, but I love this color. I have used silk cotton and lace material with satin lining for the dress.

Made a small top similar to shrug and a bow to tie at the back.

I did some sequin and beads work in the top.

I made a small bag and hair clip with the remaining  material. She was very crazy to have such a bag. In fact was very happy on her birthday not for chocolates or cake, just for this little bag I made for her.

the hair clip...

Thank you very much for the lovely comments you give me.

They bring a big simle in my face.

Next post is another summer dress...Keep watching!

On her Birthday

This is my daughter's birthday dress. I am always attracted to Embroidery from my childhood days. It is the thing which impresses me a lot. When  i see a stitch then i would start thinking how could i implement it in my own designs. Embroidery with stones, beads, sequence make wonders. I have done many such before but at that time i was not blogging. Now i had an opportunity to post this .This is the first time I am using metallic threads and the stitches are simple chain stitch. The borders are with zig- zag stitch and detached chain stitch. One of my friend,  Jayashree Radha gifted this silk skirt material to my daughter. you can see the matching kundhan jewelry ... yes I made it for her.
