I made this dress for Lauren's six month photos. I plan to frame this one along with the one I made for her birth. This dress is made from pink Dupioni Silk. Dupioni means duplo or double. This type of silk is made when two silk worms weave their cocoons together. The fibers result in a bumpy fabric texture. I added pin tucks and white bullion embroidered roses with white silk ribbon accents to the gathered sleeves. Whew - the bullion roses took forever, but they were worth it and I am pleased. I'm getting out the smocking pleater for her 9 month dress!
