AS&E "Marigold" - A Matching Dress for Gigi

Spiritual - "Mary teaches us that when our love of God is really perfect, it flows at once into generous love of our neighbor, because, as St. Thomas says, one who loves God, loves all that God loves.  If then, we have to recognize that in dealing with our neighbor we are not very charitable, nor very kind to him, nor attentive to his needs, we must conclude that our love for God is still very weak."  Divine Mercy

Sewing - This is  "Marigold" a little dress made from AS&E 97, page 18.  I made this to match the smocked top I made for Audrie.  It was fun to smock and fun to construct.  There is piping around the neckline.  The back skirt has a placket and the back bodice closes with two buttons.  The angel sleeves are self-lined.  When their mom gets a chance to take pictures of the two of them,  I'll post.
Dress front, sized from two in the issue to a three
Smocking pattern in article, piping detail, and angel sleeves
