Lil' girls dresses/thread

[Cordelia]

In the early 90's I had a number of patterns that were little girls dresses done entirely in #10 thread...Sizes went from size 2-10 I believe. Often times these patterns had a dress, sometimes a pinafore, sock edging and some type of headress....sometimes just the dress....Anyway I lent them, they were never returned and now I am seeking them...
I cant recall who published them and I did google and found nothing on my end...

The crux of this very long post....does anyone have any idea where I can find them or at least remember seeing them so that maybe I can track them down again...Any and all clues would be more than wonderful and much appreciated.

Hi Cordelia

I am not sure of the patterns you speak of.. but if you do not find them.. I wil be coming out with a thread dress. Well... the patterns are ready, I am just waiting on a picture for the toddler version since my daughter is still a baby. One of my wonderful testers is waiting on some embellishments for it to we can have the perfect picture! (her daughter is a tot)

I have started to sell the baby version on ebay... I hope to have both the baby version and toddler version up for sale soon.

The sets include:

baby version: dress, headband, sock trim & bib
tot version: dress, headband, sock trim, ponytail hodler & drawstring purse

here is a pic of what the set looks like..

Thanks Lisa....I hadnt forgot your pattern infact seeing yours made me long for mine, now long gone, lol!

I wish I could describe the patterns I had....very flowing and lacy but wearable , ya know what I mean?

I will keep watching and once your toddler pattern is ready size 4t-5t (maybe) I can grab one!

BTW check this out Lisa....cool huh?

the tot version is a little different but still same pattern.. just different lengths in certain areas etc.

and that pattern you linked to is so cute!! i will have to check out that site as well.. i never seen it before!

Cordelia, Annie's Attic came out with a leaflet in 1996 called "Delicate Crochet Dresses" #879208. They can be made from size 5 Pearl cotton or size 10 crochet cotton. Sizes are for Toddler 1, 2 & 3. Come are dresses, some are pinafores.I don't have the original book, only a xerox copy which was given to me before I knew better. Beverly Study designed 3 of the dresses. Hope some of this info will be helpful in finding it. Good luck!
