End-of-Summer Picnic Pretty

Full view of dress/

Here's the new girl again in a sundress I made from cotton gingham.  I used the technique of chicken scratch embroidery on the hemline and front to dress up the pretty gingham.  I may list this dress on ebay or etsy if I decide I can part with it!

Here's a hemline detail:

Pretty little summer gingham dress. Love the chicken scratch work at the bottom. It has been ages since I have seen any of that needlework. It use to be all the rage many years ago.

Question, are the dolls you have shown in the last posts done by Geri Uribe, and how tall are they? They have the most life-like and beautiful faces. The artist has captured the innocence and sweetness found in youth. Love them, especially the little freckled face in the previous post.

Hi Susanne, thanks for your comments! They are Little Darlings by Dianna Effner. They're 13 inches tall. The one featured in this post is painted by Nelly Valentino (www.timelesstreasuresmiami.com) and in the last photo in the last post, the doll on the right (the freckled one) is painted by Geri Uribe (http://www.thedollstudio.com/geriuribe.html).
