This is Charlotte, I just finished her this snowy afternoon, to the sound of daddy chain sawing. Momma and I found her a long time ago at an auction in Berks County, PA. Just recently momma and I rediscovered her tucked away in a closet. And I decided it was time for her to be loved again! Charlotte had some minor repairs and I made a belt to add some fun and color to her. Charlotte is an antique silk dress, simple yet beautiful. And I will also add the person who originally wore her, had very tiny arms. The sleeves are quite small. I hope to get my Etsy shop going very soon and Charlotte will be the first one there waiting for a new friend!

Beautiful!
ReplyDeletelove! You are sooooo creative!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I remember my mom's wedding dress had such skinny arms that one of the girls (age 11) tried it on and fit the sleeves.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like most sleeves on dresses were much smaller, I wonder if in that area people were smaller boned??? Just a thought, I mean with the depression and all that maybe they didn't get all the right nutrition and stuff. I don't really know the why part, but I do know they deffinately had very tiny arms!
