I don't normally
design children's clothes, but I wanted to have a go at designing these flower
girl dresses. They are based on the decoration on the backs of antique hand
mirrors that I found on a variety of antique websites. I designed five
different flower girl dresses, but to prevent an incredibly long post, I've
split the designs into two posts. I'll post the other two designs in a couple
of weeks.

The designs are
fairly similar. They all have a decorative bodice, embroidered in gold with
patterns taken from the decoration used on the hand mirrors. The skirts of all
three of the dresses are quite full, though the blue dress does have a slightly
narrower line than the other two. The blue and silver dresses use a rounded
neckline, but the green dress uses a 'V' shaped neckline. All three of the
dresses are ankle length and have gold ribbon stitched round the skirt of the
dress near the hem.
