Greetings!
Newly created sun dress for your vintage Cissy doll. It is made to resemble one of Cissy’s early sun dresses. It is made with vintage mid-century cotton (width is 38” dating it around 1930’s- 1950’s). The fabric is an ivory shade with sparsely scattered purple roses. It is a lovely old fabric (feeling it, it may even be 1930’s?). It is a soft cotton with nice hand. It’s clean, unwashed with bright colors.
Construction of dress is made similar to early sun dresses. Sleeveless bodice has a round neck, I used a vintage (1950’s) off white cotton organdy for bodice lining. Arm holes are edged with ecru shade french val lace. Little lavender satin bows accent shoulders. It closes in back with 4 square snaps that are accented with pearl buttons. Skirt is a generous 58” around with a 2” hand sewn blind hem.
I always like to show contrast of slip underneath vs. no slip. To bring out fullness of skirt a full slip is needed. It is shown with a slip in all photos except last #8 -it is shown without a slip. Slip is not included. For a super generous flare I also add puffed white gift tissue under the slip. (You can use the tissue I pack with- it is safe for the doll and long term storage, as I use a non-acidic food grade white baker’s tissue)
Listing is for dress only. Doll, shoes and props not included.
Thank you!
