A Vintage Pillowcase Dress Giveaway!
To kick off summer we have decided to have our first giveaway for all you moms for your little one! Yea, free is good! What will you win you ask? This sweet darling vintage pillowcase dress for little ones, or it can be worn as a top for a bit older girl. It's up to you. This little darling measures 18 1/4"L from under the arm to the hem. Measure your child from under her armpit down the 18 1/4" to see where the hem will fall on your child. If it falls where you want it to be on her, it could be yours! If you would like this as a top to wear with leggins, pants, shorts, or a skirt, again measure from under the arm down the 18 1/4" to see where the hem would fall on her for a top. A good length for the top would be at the hip level or right below her little derriere. Any questions just leave us a comment and we'll get back to you.
As a dress this can fit sizes 12M, 18M, 24M/2T, and 3T, just depends on how long you want it to be on your little one. As a top it could fit size 4T, 5, 6, 7, and maybe 8, 9, and even 10. Make sure to measure your child for the right fit.
This one of a kind vintage pillowcase has been upcycled into a darling halter style dress, or top for an older girl. This has been embroidered with pretty flowers in three shades of pink, a lovely contrasting green, and in the center embroidered in white, is the Lords hands in prayer. His robe sleeves are edged in sweet lavender. The top of the dress has been shirred and ties with a beautiful pink satin ribbon through a pink satin ribbon loop in the back in a bow. A handmade lavender satin ribbon rose bud brooch with a tiny loopy edging embellishes the top and, is removable for cleaning. The sweet scalloped hemline is finished with a beautiful heirloom dainty lace. The fabric of the dress is lightweight cotton linen and just beautiful.
We have the mate to this case available and listed on the website for a custom order made dress if your not the winner of this giveaway, and would like to purchase one for your little one. With just a couple of measurements from you, we can have this made up just exactyly like the dress/top above for you in no time!
You can find it here at Cameo Kids Boutique
To give you an idea as an example of this worn as a top, my neighbor Leila modeled this for you.
Leila is 11 years old - wears a size 14 in tops or a large in girls. She is 4' Tall - and weights 100pds.
She is 29 1/2" in the chest - there is still lots for stretch in this dress/top.
Her waist is 27", and her hips are 32 1/4". It fits her very well, but I think if it was a litte bit longer
than the 18 1/4", it would be perfect on her. So I think size 10, 9, 8, and 7 would be the size for a top.
But that all depends on how long you would want this to be as a top on your child.
Please remember to measure! :)

Hi Debi,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to write to say "hi" and tell you my latest "brainstorm"--
I have decided to have "Guest Artists" on my site and write an
inspirational story about the piece they are showing with a link to their site (I finally figured out how to do that--geez--lol.)
So, if you'd like I could post the "Praying Hands" from your dress and
make a link to your site and have you as my guest artist...
Just let me know... :-)
Hugs,
Cindy
Debi, that is just beautiful and I know just the little girl it would look divine on!
ReplyDeleteI have Twittered and Facebooked it, I follow your blog and here's your comment! Thank for such a fun give away.

ReplyDeleteok I have it on my FB but I don;t have twitter so I posted on Kijiji which is similar to craigslist (only safer and better managed). Only thing is it may get flagged as retail advertising and pulled, hard to say :-(
