This charming Colonial style dress is adapted from 18th century girl's dress styles similar to the popular American Girl FELICITY's colonial gown.

For a comfortable fit - and also historically correct for young girls - the dress closes in the back with tape-ties to form bows. The center back meets over a fabric placket, both for modesty, and to allow adjustment as the young lady grows up, and the ties can be made slightly looser

Caps sold seperately.

Lavender Striped Girl's Day Dress

Gown details:

. . . .The one-piece dress is made in Lavender cotton fabric,material and laces are fully washable.
The Bodice and sleeves are fully lined. The square, 18th century style neckline of the dress is edged with a delicate white lace. Elbow-length sleeves are finished with a ruffle of white lace at the opening of the sleeve.

The full skirt falls from a slightly pointed front waistline, and is generously gathered. As was customary with children's dresses in the 18th century, the skirt features tucks along the hemline, serving as pretty accents, but also practical, to be let down as the wearer grows taller! Maximum skirt length is 36".

An ornamental edging of "pinked" ruffled pleating, made from the lavender striped fabric adds just a touch of fashionable 18th century style trimming, and echoes the square neckline, and is also applied to the lower sleeves,accenting the feminine white lace.

When ordering a Solid color dress, please give 3 color choices

Girl's Formal Dress

Styled after the portaits of young girls from the 18th century, and existing museum examples, this charming formal dress is both comfortable and easy for a young lady to wear.

The bodice has a round-neckline, typical for a young girl of the era, and dips slightly at the front waistline. Curved seams draw the line vertically from the waist to the shoulder, visually elongating the torso and slimming the figure. Sleeves are elbow-length. Both neckline and sleeves are edged with falling lace ruffles.

The full skirt features a "growth tuck" at the hem. The gown laces up the center back, and features the "Leading strings" - flowing ribbon-like fabric panels falling from the shoulders- an unusual style seen on adolescent girls dresses.
Shown, Olive green Satin

Price: $125.00

Formal Fabrics: Smooth Satin
