I love this pattern! It is a 1875 slip for girls, size 2-4.  

This is the first of two dresses that I made out of this pattern. 

For both dresses I used a silk blend fabric and vintage velvet ribbon that I purchased at antique shop in Ft. Worth..

I trimmed this dress with old lace between the ribbon, down the front and along the bottom ruffle.

The bonnet completes the Victorian look. It is an e-pattern and you can find it here:

Can I just say once more–I LOVE this pattern! 

I can not count how many times I have used this pattern. You will find it along with many other wonderful patterns at: http://fairytalefrocksandlollipops.com/

The second dress and hat.  

Instead of using lace between the vintage ribbon I used ruffles from a coordinating silk blend fabric.  

More of the hat
