Peppermint Candy Swirl is made from poly/cotton red and white gingham fabric.  The collar and cuffs are done in white cotton and edged in a hand-embroidered bullion loop trim.  An additional strand of red embroidery floss is then woven through the loops to give the candy-cane appearance to the trim.  The collar is further embellished with tiny daisies worked in red thread with white french-knot centers.  The lined bodice is smocked in two layers, one in red, one in white, in a cable-and-wave pattern that creates tiny rosettes where the rows meet.  The look is complete top to bottom when the full skirt is edged in white eyelet, customized with a strand of red floss whipped through along the bottom to mirror the trim on the collar and cuffs.  The bodice is lined and the dresses has a back Velcro closure.  

Peppermint Candy Swirl is available for order at $65 plus shipping.

Daisy Chain is made from poly/cotton black and white gingham fabric.  The collar and cuffs are done in white cotton and edged with a hand-embroidered white bullion-loop trim.  A strand of black is whipped through the loops in a swirl pattern, and tiny, red french-knots are spaced at intervals along the trim.  The collar is further embellished with daisies embroidered in black with red french-knot centers.  The hand-worked smocking is done in two layers, one in black and one in white.  The cable-and-wave pattern creates tiny rosettes where the rows meet and these are highlighted by red french-knot centers.  The bottom of the full skirt is bordered by an eyelet trim that is fully customized with hand embroidery.  A strand of black whipped through the bottom mirrors the trim a the top, and the embroidered daisies in the eyelet are outlined in black and centered with red french-knots.
