I met a lady who knit sweaters out of bamboo yarn.
In reality they look very much like the pattern drawing.
This one has the look of some of the dresses I have seen on Pinterest.
Fabrics and trims from Hobby Lobby.
In reality they look very much like the pattern drawing.
As there were a few seams and inserts that had to be carefully matched, I benefitted from consulting with someone who had sewn their pattern before. Sometimes I needed more detailed instructions than the pattern provided.

You can tell my iron was not available for pressing. All seams were hand-pressed or mashed by hand 😊. I noticed what a time saver it was not to pin everything before sewing. I had no pins but was able to fit everything together without tediously pinning sleeves, bodice pieces, waist, etc. and it also saved time.
Note: these four garments look a lot better in person, but are a little frumpy the way I displayed them.
I tried them all on and they are just the most perfect style in my opinion and so I am going to make some for myself, without inside front bodice inserts.
These dresses were a gift to the mother of the preemie who was staying at the Ronald MacDonald House I mentioned before. She is home now and the family is functioning normal and noisy.
Thank you to such kind friends who sent some donations. I had quite a nice time getting this fabric at Hobby Lobby. I truly wish you could see these dresses on the young mother. She looks like a princess.
God Bless you all.

I used this pattern when invited to be in my sister's wedding party years ago 2 months after a son was born. I made it in a navy brocade and it was very elegant and flattering to my postpartum figure. ~~Mrs. H
Yes...these dresses are very princessy!
I also appreciated seeing how the artist painted the leaves in the painting , as I am doing art now and always need to paint leaves....I used colored pencil instead.
The dresses are lovely and beautifully sewn, Lydia! I'm sure the new mother feels beautiful whenever she wears them.
I love the flowered one. It looks so comfortable.
I'm sure the new mom will appreciate the ease of them all.
Oh,my...these are just so PERFECT!! I would LOVE to have a dress like these.
Such a blessing for the lady who received them!!
God bless
