Here Comes Santa!!!

Yes, his beard is real!!  This is a co-worker who needed a Santa's outfit.  The outfit has the coat, pants, hat and sack. It was an easy outfit to make except for the trim.  The trim was purchased as a band trim instead of a fabric cut.  The collar is cut on a curve.  I had to piece the trim to show the least amount of seams.  My co-worker was happy with the results and so was I.

Lady Lillian


Doesn't she just look lovely!  She's all dressed up and ready to go to the Faire with the other maidens in the Castle. Her dress is made of rich green satin, completely lined and held closed in the back with 3 snaps.  I could have laced the back of the dress but I wanted a little girl to enjoy this outfit. Lady Lillian wears a circlet made of the same fabric and trimmed with irredescent ribbon. Her long sleeves and neck scarf is made of embellished  sheer fabric.  A braided belt made of the fabrics from her dress encircle her waist and ends in a single braid down the front.

This is the back view of the dress.  All of the dresses I have made so far have included snaps in the back,  It's extra work but I just don't like velcro.  Little girls need to learn dexterity and what better way than to include snaps..!

Lady Lillian

Her dress is completely lined.  She almost could wear this dress inside out.

This picture shows the lined dress and her circlet.  She wears a stiff petticoat to add that extra fullness to the dress.

Tudor Lady

This dress was fun to put together.  I did have a hard time finding the pleated fabric, and the color goes so well with the teal corduroy.  I still have the same fabric left over and can make one for you. It's a one piece dress and comes with a petticoat and the French Hood.  contact me for pricing.
