Little Darling doll heirloom smocked dress




This is the first dress in a series I have embarked on that feature antique lace. I love the classy ecru on white look and bullion roses of course. My model is a Mini Maru doll who has very close measurements to the Dianna Effner's Little Darling doll.  I have used heirloom sewing methods to create a precious collectors item. The swiss insertion lace on this dress is a beautiful piece of antique lace. The hem and collar lace is a modern matching lace.
