The fabric for the dress in this block is a little thinner than usual quilting cotton fabric. It is closer to voile. As a result, you can see the dress form through the dress (at least, I can see it). But once I have all the blocks finished, I will be cutting out the backing from behind the dresses so I have less bulk to quilt through.
It is great fun to pick out the fabric for these dresses! It takes me back to my childhood, when I loved playing with dolls. I am the classic tailored type now; I rarely wear a dress and when I do, it is nothing like this. Though I did have a brief Laura Ashley phase in the 80's. For proof, see my wedding dress.
Me and my dad just prior to my wedding.
Love the photo of you and your dad, Cathy! Beautiful!!
