Cream Negligee Dress
Here's a blast from the past. Doing work on another project of mine, I got to access my daughter's treasure trove of handmade Barbie clothes from her childhood for a photo shoot. Among her Barbie dresses was this cream negligee I made for her one Christmas. The gown is of linen with a lace wrap bodice and straps, and the robe is of seersucker with pearl and lace accents. I was so surprised to see it again after all these years! I remember the hours I spent sewing it by hand for her and how excited she was to open it that Christmas morning. Looking at it and recalling all the joy, I suddenly wish my granddaughters were older so I could make intricate Barbie dresses for them too! But there will be time enough for that, I'm sure. In the meantime, this trip down memory lane has made me smile. It's nice to share it with all of you! *grin*
