I’ve shown you my carnival dress from my childhood here; now let me show you one of my daughter’s carnival dresses. Although it’s not as old as my other treasures from the past, it is a treasure.
This
dress is made of pink satin with a white lace overlay and sleeves. Also made of
satin and lace is a detachable peplum, for the waist. The dress has two skirts
layers with the top layer forming a scallop hem. The best part? I had a blast making this
dress for my little daughter.
If
I hadn’t sorted my pictures into boxes with the hope of getting them ready for
albums, I would have a photo of her in the dress. I will add that photo as I
come across it again.
One final note, after chasing the satin
around the room while sewing it, I vowed to never sew satin again, and I have
not.

what memories right? cute dress :D
You made that? Impressive!
You did a great job with the dress for sure!
Great solution, can't find it, make it
Hi Teresa .. that's amazing and I can quite understand you not wanting to sew satin again.
Gorgeous pink though, and so dainty with the lace overlay .. it's so pretty - bet your daughter loved it ... clever Mum!
Cheers Hilary
I always admire people who can sew. That dress turned out beautifully.
I love the dress! Bet she looked like a real princess in it. Sewing satin would be tricky, for sure!
I don't understand "Carnival Dress." To me a carnival has rides, games of chance and cotton candy, hot dogs, candied apples, etc. where jeans would be more appropriate. Seems to me to be inconsistent with a dressy dress. The dress is pretty all the same.
Ooh - as a girl I would ave loved that in blue! =)
I should have clarified for those who didn't read about my school carnival dress post or click back to the post from here. School carnivals here are fundraisers.
My apologies.
Satin can be quite slippery when sewing on, but the dress came out quite nice and I bet she looked quite the little lady.
What a beautiful dress. You're amazing.
