Purple Files: Morgan's Purple Dress

Morgan is growing and needs more garb... As she is 2 years old, I can use left over material from Dafydd's or my garb. This garb was made from left overs from my latest purple garb made for the Bal Purpure.

I used a basic bodice with back lacing and wider shoulders to allow for her head to grow. (I had to cut a larger head hole in previous garb I made with side lacing only) I made shoulder rolls, decorated with white ribbon and couched silver metallic thread.

The skirt was cartridge pleated and hand sewn onto the bodice. Sleeves were of a bag-type shape, again to allow for growth, in thickening arms, as she grows. I have a large hem so it can be let down later.

UPDATE:

This dress has now been passed onto younger members of the Barony. I have decided - I hate shoulder rolls!!!
