Katherine in her own bustle dress. As a victorian child her dress would have come to just below her knees but I made this to last! It took about 4 years for the dress to become "correct" for a victorian child and be below the knees rather than floor length! Then I had to make another one!
This dress is made of a pale mint green and cream satin with a cotton collar and a big dark green satin bow over the bustle pad.
Looking like a regal victorian Lady.
The parasol is nearly bigger than her!
Looking up to mum in her bustle dress.
This is Katherines new bustle dress. I have made a long polonaise type jacket to allow for upward growth! Made of dusky pink satin and cream lace.
