Our cotton calico dress features a fully lined bodice with square or rounded neckline and long shirt style sleeves. The dress can be trimmed with several options across the front of the bodice. (Please see the pictures for ideas.) The dress buttons up the back. These buttons can be moved to adjust the fit of the dress. The skirt is gathered into the bodice, and has a 3 inch hem, that can be lengthened as your child grows. The skirt is full enough to fit over a girls hoop skirt or corded petticoat to give it some structure and shape. If you are concerned about the size of this dress, please check out the measurement chart provided. The dress is shown over a hoop skirt which is NOT INCLUDED.
The pretty half apron features an eyelet edged or 3 Inch hem. The apron is gathered into the waistband and has long ties so that it will tie in a nice bow in the back. The apron can be made in either a solid white or cream muslin or your choice of a coordinating fabric.
The matching poke bonnet features an adjustable back so that it will fit most head sizes and grow with the child. The brim is filled and quilted with a felt insert, so that it will stay stiff and not droop in the rain. The back of the bonnet has a curtain to protect the neck from sunburn. I will either match the bonnet to the apron or the dress depending on how much fabric I have.
