The girls were dreaming of new flannel nightgowns. How can a mother refuse? Jane was to be first, made up in lilac flannel with little pink roses.
I used the same pattern from last year but expanded the pattern margins by about a quarter inch and dropped the sleeve and skirt and hemline to allow for growth. Nightgowns are rather forgiving in the fit.
We added some lace trim,
a creamy pink button from Great-Mother's button tin,
and didn't skimp on the gathering for the puffed sleeves. Oh, little girls are so delicious to dress.

ReplyDeletethose are the sweetest pictures!!!
Beautiful, Anna! I love the touch of lace. And I agree, little girls are so fun to dress.
ReplyDeleteSO pretty! What beautiful fabric! You are so talented. I agree, too. Little girls are delightful to dress.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun! Should I confess that I just made myself some flannel lilac pjs for grown-up me? I guess you never get too old for some things.
ReplyDeleteOh, the fabric is scrumptious (as is the model)! Beautiful work!
