| Princess Katherine
This is my niece Katie dressed as a flower
girl when she was asked to be a part of a wedding party. Her costume is
a reproduction of an 18 cc child's garment. Prior to the 20 cc century
there was no distinction between adult and children's clothes. Therefore
children from that time were dressed as little adults. Keeping in
the spirit of the times when fabrics played a dual role as both upholstery
and fashion fabric, we used a heavy gold and green brocade for this purpose.
Her stomacher is made of gold chantilly
lace, trimmed with gold silk jacquard bows. The dressed is embroidered
throughout with iridescent Swarovsky crystals. Katie wears a gold
chantilly lace mop hat on her head trimmed with a peacock feather. |
