Happy Valentine's Day!

Last night I decided to make two princess dresses for Emma-Caroline and Sophie for Valentine's Day and for our family pictures that we did today. I used the simple circle applique so that they could wear these dresses again for occasions other than Valentine's Day. Emma-Caroline was so excited about her dress and I think Sophie was too, even though she couldn't quite express it in the same way as her sister. I think the applique on the princess dress turned out nicely and I will offer that as an option. I just so happened to have matching ribbon trim for the girls dresses. I think that it is important that the applique and ribbon match. Have a very Happy Valentine's Day!

The Princess Dress

One item that I carry as a staple at Josie-Bea Originals are monogrammed long sleeved and sleeveless dresses with trim. The long sleeved dresses are sweet little princess style dresses that I embellish with a monogram or name as well as ribbon trim and ball fringe. I offer a wide range of colors of ribbon and ball fringe, not just the red and white shown in the pictures. The sleeveless version of the dress is done the same way and makes a great swimsuit cover up or little summer play dress. Ellen Sullivan carried both of these and I am calling it the "Princess Dress" as a tribute to her and her business "The Southern Princess." I am happy to continue the tradition. The long sleeved dress with trim and monogram is $24 and the sleeveless dress sells for $20.
