My post for today is a sweet vintage baby dress - how many of you remember these. I love them and dressed my daughter in them as often as possible - and they were vintage back then - so now they're really vintage. Many of them were totally handmade including the tucking and always out of the most soft cotton lawn and voile. You don't see many anymore, but I happened to find this in a thrift or antique store sometime back. Anytime I find something like this I have to buy it - I just hate to see such workmanship and love tossed aside. I made many of my children's clothes growing up, so I have an idea of how much work went into these little dresses. I know I have others but I'm sure they're packed away with many other items of my children's childhood. The pink flower is hand embroidered, you can still see the blue ink from the pattern underneath, and for some reason the dress was never completed. This one is machine sewn not hand sewn but still has the appeal of gentler times gone by. And, I had to add those little pink Easter chicks again also.
Have a wonderful Pink Saturday everyone, I will get to as many of you as possible. I love visiting and having visitors. Take care.
P.S. Pop on over to Beverly's and check out Pink Saturday - thank you Beverly for putting this together for all of us.

Ohmygoodness, you really outdid yourself today. I ♥ coming by each week to see what you're sharing with us on Pink Saturday. Your blog is a delight.
No little girls for me to dress as babies until I had my first grand-daughter, so I went wild!
I love vintage baby dresses. I have a few we wore when we where babies that my mom passed down to me. Love them.

The dress is beautiful. It's funny to think that way back when, baby boys were even dressed in beautiful dresses until they reached a certain age. They are just so delicate and pretty, nowadays you'd only put a baby girl in them, especially with the pink! Happy weekend!
Yours is a gorgeous post this weekend, thankyou for the share, you just don't find that type of talent anymore do you? Tucking, that is something I remember my grandmother doing, Happy Pink Saturday, Char
