Dress-Up Time!


So she seems to like her cap after all. She's been wearing it all day today. :) Yay! Then I decided I'd do a dress-up session with her period clothing that I have done thus far:

(Get used to it, baby! You were born to a mama who loves to sew!)

Here's her regular petticoat.

Here's the quilted wool petticoat.

She suddenly decided she didn't want to pose by herself -- she had to sit on mama's lap. :) This is that quickie plain dress I did recently, plus the cap.
(I love that cap on her!)

She was starting to get tired, can you tell??

This is the coat and hood. I still need a hook/eye on the coat, plus ties on the hood and tack down the brim. Also, I put the hood on right over the cap, just because at the December reenactment, the wind can be so chilly that I don't want her ears to get cold. I figure it'd be an extra bolster against a chill.

The only thing more adorable than your daughter on her own is your daughter in period attire!

She's an angel! Babies should be dressed like this always.

Thanks ladies! I think she's adorable too...but then, I'm biased. :) I can't wait to make little hoop dresses!

How coincidental that you did this post, I wanted to do one on Asa's 3 week birthday which is tomorrow. Victoria looks like an absolute angel, in the last shot especially!
