White satin flower girl dress!
Earlier this summer, whilst at a friend’s BBQ, Little Tweedie’s handmade dress was getting a lot of admiration, and as a result, a friend of the hosts asked me if I might consider making three flower girl dresses for her wedding next year. We talked through what she might like, and I decided to make a sample dress that I could later give to another little girl of my acquaintance on her third birthday

At the next social gathering, I presented to her the above beautiful white satin dress with red satin sash. Not only did she like it, but the mothers of two of the flower girls also liked it, and so it was decided that I would indeed make the dresses for her wedding.
Bias-bound, hand stitched hem for the satin and machine stitched hem for the lining
The dress is made with white crepe-backed satin and is fully lined with anti-static polyester lining. The sash is a wide red satin ribbon. The hem is bias-bound and hand-stitched. I made a dust cover too to keep the dress clean and safe!
The label – very important! It had to be backed with extra white fabric to prevent it showing through to the right side of the dress!
The dust cover – just made with calico and machine-embroidered
I haven’t started working on the dresses yet as the bride had not fully decided on her colour scheme, and she has recently got a new job and is moving to London, and is therefore putting her wedding on hold for the moment. Still, it’s very exciting to be contributing to someone’s special day, whenever it may be!
