PRIM BLESSINGS AND WELCOME TO MY AUCTION FOR THIS AMERICANA DRESS. IT IS 21 INCHES LONG. THE MATERIAL USED IS THE FINEST VIP COTTON CALICO AND NOVELTY CALICO YOU CAN BUY. ALL MADE WITH WITH PLENTY OF TLC. THE HANGER IS HAND MADE WITH A TWIG AND WIRE. THIS DRESS HAS BEEN HEAVILY TEA DYED. I ADDED A COLLAR MADE OF NAVY DENIM AND HAND STITCHED IT ON AND ALSO USED NO STITCH TO SECURE IT IN PLACE.
I STITCHED AROUND THE COLOR BY HAND WITH BURGUNDY FLOSS AND ADDED A VINTAGE BUTTON AND SECURED IT WITH BURGUNDY FLOSS. I ALSO TOOK A RUSTY PIN AND RUSTY BELL AND PINNED IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SKIRT AT THE BODICE.
I USED MUSLIN TO MAKE THE STAR AND I STUFFED IT, PAINTED IT DK. BLUE SANDED IT AND PUT A NAVY BUTTON IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND SECURED IT WITH BURGUNDY FLOSS. THE MIDDLE OF THE GATHERED SKIRT HAS A CUT OUT PIECE OF MATERIAL THAT MATCHES THE BODICE IN A STAR SHAPE AND I MACHINE STICHED IT ON . THE PICTURES DO NOT DO THIS DRESS JUSTICE, IT IS VERY SPECIAL AND PATRIOTIC.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE HANG TAG WHICH IS VERY SPECIAL. THIS TAG WAS PURCHASED BY" myfathershouse4" ON EBAY. THE BACK OF THE TAG IS SIGNED, DATED AND NUMBERED BY ME.
