Royal Purple Smocked Silk Gown

Here is a lovely little smocked silk gown I made for a sweet little girl that used to model for me years ago! She was only 18 months back when she used to be my little model and now she is already 7!!! My time flies by sooooo quickly. If her mom sends me any photos, I will post some then and now photos! :o) Here is the gown. It is the richest shade of purple!
Here is a closeup of the smocking and embroidery:
The gown is my original pattern that I drafted years ago. I had almost forgotten how to make it, it had been so long. Anyhow, I thought you might like to see it. Have a great day!

Another Smocked Sunday Best Style Silk Pageant Dress!

I really loved this color combo in this little silk dress. The accent color silk was a super unique green/gold/teal color, depending on which way the light hit it!
That is the neat thing about iridescent silk......it changes colors depending on which way you look at it :o)

I smocked the bodice with a variegated thread that went from teal to green to gold and added glass seed beads for extra sparkle.

Thanks for looking!
