Lilly is dressed in an antique children's dress.
I reworked it to fit her dainty little body.
This dress is about 100 years old, and all made
lovingly by hand, every little stitch!
The fabric is cotton with a shirting print.
Shirting prints were used to make shirts...
hence the name.
I have carefully washed it, but a few light
stains remain.
I think they add character.
Oh, I believe this sweet dress could tell many stories.
Her underskirt is made from old flannel,
and will certainly keep her warm.
 

 
Lilly was given this little charm for her ribbon
by her Mama.
It is her favorite adornments.....

which hold the promise of spring to come.
 

 
If this is not the sweetest face.
 
 
 
 

 
 
The color is off a bit here, but it shows you
the light stains.
The pretty tag is antique and is printed "Germany"
on the back.
 
 
 
 
Once more in all her glory.

 her stand and be seated.

Cute, sweet little Melissa!

could also be worn this way.
Beautiful, don't you agree?!
