Girl's Handmade Vintage Cotton retailer Dress, Size 4-6--"Amanda"

"Amanda"

Amanda looks so sweet and calm picking wild flowers in her very soft, flowing, lavender vintage gingham sundress or jumper. Her 1940's patterned dress has a slightly high waisted self lined bodice. Her gathered skirt front features a front panel of beautifully done hand embroidered cross stitching (purchased with the vintage stitching previously done) in hues of purple, lavender, and clover pink flowers with stems and leaves of Kelly green. The dress ties at the shoulder tops with lavender grosgrain vintage ribbons. The bodice back fastens with four square plastic vintage buttons with a lavender ombre finish, and one snap. The bottom of the gathered skirt is bordered with a band of the same vintage grosgrain ribbon and a vintage lavender Schiffli floral appliqué to complete Amanda's classic look.
