V is for
Velvet. Nothing looks richer than velvet. The deep color, the shimmer and shadows. It is just a luxurious fabric. And really shines at the holidays. Our baby is too young for velvet this year. A baby in arms is going to wad a velvet dress until she and the dress both look like a dish rag. So in a year or two, she will be big enough for a beautiful velvet dress like this one.
I really like this dress for an older child of 4 or 5.
A really striking bodice that is a vertical smocked panel. The red bullion roses are beautiful against the deep navy.
And the royal blue bishop I posted here is still a favorite.
Off to finish wrapping! I can hear sleigh bells beginning to ring.

I love velvet! The vertical smocking is really nice. I'll have to try that at Easter, maybe.
ReplyDeleteI used cotton velvet this year for my girls Christmas dresses. I didn't have time to smock them so I made a lot of tucks and sewed them down one direction flipped it over and did it the other direction. super cute you can check it out here.http://bolohead.blogspot.com/2010/12/mo-tab.html
