Ruthie's Summer Dress

The very simple lines of this dress are the perfect show case for the delicate cotton voile tufted print fabric. The bodice and skirt are completely lined and hand hemmed.  There is a full back opening for the dress, a velcro closure, and elastic gathered sleeves. I made the polyester organdy waist sash removable, so that the secured bow over velcro closure can be worn front, side or back. We all know how Ruthie loves to accessorize, so she chose a fabric covered plastic hairband and orchid beads and bracelet.  The jewelry is on stretchy mono-filament, the necklace has a lobster clasp. While the construction of this outfit is not historically accurate, the style and fabric are.  You can enjoy the beauty of 1930's simplicity, and the ease of modern fastenings and sturdy sewing.

This set for Ruthie or Kit era dolls: dress, hairband, jewelry, and shoes sells for $30.00.  Priced separately: dress - $18, hair band - $3,  jewelry - $6, shoes - $7. Convo me if you wish to change the listing.
