Warm-weather inspired, this ooak (one of a kind,) 100% cotton, powder bluie dress is sure to delight any little girl with it’s delightful “painting” of two ducks enjoying a warm summer’s day at the lake.

I have used my own technique of combining hand smocking & hand embroidery to create a unique piece of wearable art. The dress is smocked with a diamond-shaped design in powder blue embroidery floss to match the fabric, and accented with a few rows of white smocking. The rectangular area in the center of the bodice is back-smocked, (smocked on the inside) to anchor the pleats in place, then I have embroidered free-hand, made up as I go,  this little country scene of two ducks going for a swim at the lake.

The sleeves & back button placket have been hand-trimmed in white blanket stitch. Each sleeve ruffle has a matching trio of flowers embroidered in the center of it. Between the first & second button on the back is another trio of hand-embroidered flowers. The skirt front, by the hem line,  has a tall double flower embroidered there.

As with all of my dresses, the hem is entirely stitched by hand. A complimentary matching, hand embroidered pair of socks is included with the purchase of this dress.

*Dress measures approx. 21″ from back of neck to bottom of hem
