A Darling Pillowcase Dress Giveaway - Enter to Win - Drawing on 7-15-2010


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! :)

We have over 67 vintage pillowcases listed at present with many more listing soon. With summer here and on its way in other areas of the country, now is the time to fill your little girl's closet with these comfy little dresses or tops with many styles available. Yours can be made in the original style with the ribbons tying at the shoulders, peasant style, halter style, onesie style, and we can do many variations with each of those. Contact us to learn more. 
Many of our pillowcases come in sets of two which is perfect for sisters or twins. There are many choices to choose from each with their own beautiful hand embroidered designs and dainty hand crocheted hemlines. Your dress will also come with a gift card to the little girl receiving the dress, and the story of how these little dresses first originated. These start a new history and story for the dress if you decide to store it away for another little girl one day. 

Below you'll find some examples of what you will find when you visit. These are some of my very favorite vintage pillowcases. (They All Look Much More Beautiful In Person). Each one will simply become one of the most charming little girl's dresses ever! And, they are all packed with the history of days gone by.

Wedding Flower Girl Pillowcase Dresses


YEA!!! I finally have all my custom orders caught up after 2 Months of sewing my brains out! Tomorrow I'm hitting the pool to get some rays and relax and actually do some people watching for excitement! Sounds like I need a life lol!


I did a wedding about 4 years ago or so now for a lady in Alabama whose daughter was getting married. They wanted pillowcase dresses for the flower girls as they had three of them. Well the mother of the that groom called me recently as now her daughter is getting married and they loved the dresses I did for her son's wedding and asked if I would make pillowcase dresses for 3 more little girls.


These dresses are made of a white linen polyester fabric which is so soft, looks just like linen, but it doesn't wrinkle like linen does, and it flows so nice. She wanted a four inch heirloomy lace at the hemline, and big wide white satin ribbons for the shoulder ties.  These turned out really nice and I hope she likes them. I hope the little ones like them too!

I bought extra of the fabric and some heirloom lace ribbon to make some more of these, but I have another way I'm going to do the neckline. I don't care for the wide casing you have to do for wide ribbon as it looks chunky to me, so I'm going to make a trim and then gather the fabric up and sew it onto the trim, and use the ribbon lace as ties. I think it will look much better. When I get them done I'll show you what I'm talking about.

Well here are these....they really are pretty!

Now some sleep and then a few days to play!  Yippee!!!

TaTa for Now!

Something Sweet for Emma







My daughter bought several summer tops for my granddaughter Emma and brought them to me and says "Do your stuff on these".  For this white tank top t-shirt I just made this simple white flower out of vintage feedsack and frayed the edges. I then was just playing around with some pink satin ribbon which I rolled into a flower, frayed the edges, then I took the frayed threads and sewed them into the flower and thought "how sweet. I layed it in the center of the white flower and thought, "thats looks even sweeter! So I sewed the pink rose flower in place and added a pin fastener on the back and embellished the little tank t-shirt with it.  I have this yummy pastel pink cotton fabric that matched so beautifully to the pink in the flower so I made her a pair of pantaloons to match. I love how the set turned out and missy Emma looks so good in pink so it was simple but perfect! A whole new outfit for my Emma!
