An Outing Dress

Thanks to Linda, a good friend of mine for sharing her very wonderful pattern for the bodice and hat. The whimsical flowered fabric is perfect to set off the special touches of tie shouldered bodice and shaped brim on the hat. The cotton fabric is embellished with black polyester satin braid, and ribbon. The dress has a back velcro closing, tacked bow, and separate tulle underskirt with an elastic waist. there's a cute handbag to go with the outfit, and it too has a braid strap and tacked bow. Aren't the shoes perfect? They are by Sophia's®, and sport black ribbon rosettes on black patent leather-look ankle straps.

If I can get Meggie to part with it, this outfit costs $20.00 and includes the dress, hat, underskirt, handbag, and shoes.
