I came across this amazing Blog and found the cutest challenge and could not resist playing along ! Margaret from Alice & Camilla has invited us to play along with her
'Dress Up' challenge!: http://aliceandcamilla.blogspot.com/...p-players.html
Anyone can play and she is aiming to complete a dress by the end of each month. How adorable is that - it appeals to the 'little girl' in all of us!!
For the bodice I used some leftover embossed CS, using Divine Swirls embossing folder! I have sponged around the edges (LIGHTLY) of the whole dress, it helped define the lines, I also used some spotted chiffon ribbon as a belt and knotted it through a pearl buckle/slider
How cute is this - it is perfect for my DD2's birthday next month - she is my 'girly girl' and saw it on my desk this morning and cried out with delight 'Awww Mum - this is adorable!!' She is my greatest encouragement, God bless her!! I will be back tomorrow with another one to show you, it is very vintage - I am having fun with these!! LOL!

This is SO pretty Linda. The colors and sparkle on the skirt are GORGEOUS! Now I suppose you will have your own line of Linda designed girly dresses or even fabrics! Vanessa will HAVE to have one!

Awww...Linda this is GORGEOUS! Looks like a "princess" dress. Your little princess DD2 will LOVE it! Love the graduated pearls at the top of the bodice and the pearl slider with the dotted tulle ribbon! Can't wait to see what you share tomorrow. Your cards are always so LOVELY!
