Pink Daygown

Here is my first dress for KinderRose. I am still not completely satisfied with the photos. But they are getting better. Double click on each to see more details. Suggestions are welcome!


This little pink daygown is made out of buttery soft flannel cotton. It has five tucks on each side of three pink embroidered roses and a lace ruffle around the neck. The hem is done by hand with matching embroidery floss.


I wanted to make this as cozy as possible for baby. I made all the seams enclosed french seams with cotton thread so nothing will poke baby's skin. The embroidery uses no knots, the ends of the threads are woven back in on themselves. The lace around the neck has a flannel band between baby so as not to be scratchy.

The picture below shows the INSIDE of the gown.
