Each little princess dreams of that special princess dress with all the trimmings so we designed a delicate freestanding lace band, matching cap sleeves and small flowers as many as required to sew on by hand, scattering it all over the tulle layers of her dress, hair clips or on her shoes.
Although the dress was made in white Thai silk, using white embroidery thread with metallic silver detail, the band can be embroidered in any color of your choice. Optional: omit the silver thread and embroider it all in one color. This band can complement any dress in any color and fabric from plain to a dainty floral print for an informal dress.
Any dress pattern, 2 - 6 even 7 years with a front and back yoke/ front can be adjusted. The dress sleeves are replaced with the cute, short freestanding lace cap sleeves. You can use any pretty dress pattern as long as the waistline is straight and not shaped or dropped to low. If you do not want to make a dress, by a pretty dress with normal waistline and tie the band around it. The band covers most or part of the front depending on the dress size. Wide ribbon is sewn onto the sides to form one long piece that is tied around the dress. The lace set will be perfect for a bridesmaid, first communion or just a pretty birthday dress.
The set includes only:
- The freestanding lace band 5x7” (2) split files with reference crosses and as one piece for larger hoops. The finished size is 12”x4” (30.5cm x 10cm)
