Ariana went to JoAnn's with me one day in October and found a pattern for a Medieval Princess. All it took was seeing that she would get to make a hoop skirt and she was SOLD. (Actually, Daddy got to make the hoop skirt. But that is another story.)
You can see all the material in this shot. It took 12 yards of fabric for this dress. Phew....glad it is done.
What would a princess be if not a little "snobbish". Here Ana gave Daddy her best snooty face.
Here is a good shot of the sleeves. Those babies took me all night and 5 3/4 yards of fabric to make. They hang all the way to the ground and ruffle around her skirts.
Pretty Princess!
Goodness, they grow up fast. She looks so much older when she is all dolled up.
For credit where it is due: Timothy made a skirt from flexible PVC pipe to go under the dress. I bought 15 yards of boning at JoAnn's, but that stuff couldn't hold up much more than tissue paper. I stopped at the hardware store on the way home hoping to buy some vinyl covered cable to make the skirt. While I was there the PVC piping caught my eye. It worked perfect!! Thanks, Daddy......you saved the day!

Chanin I found your blog! Yay!
Ariana, you look amazing! Daddy is going to have to worry about "How to keep the Boys away" now. And mommy, the dress is awesome! But I think that "little" trinket on her head came with a great deal or work too. You are my prize!
