The Forgotten Fairy Frocks

With all the commotion & kerfuffle going on round here lately
organising the Studio so I can still conduct Workshops 
and sell stuff in the same space
I'm REdiscovering forgotten treasure

along with bags of vintage lace tucked in corners
and baskets of wooden cotton reels & dolls clothes  

there was a largish suitcase 
sitting under 3 other suitcases 
on a shelf above sewing boxes and samples
which when opened revealed forgotten 
Fairy Frocks


Once upon a time I used to make-to-sell
turning up at regular markets
every weekend for years

the eldest thought she came from a single parent family for the first 4yrs of her life!



My market days, along with Fairy Frock making, ceased 14yrs ago
when I discovered I was pregnant with the youngest 
the Fairy Frocks & Tops were packed up 
never to see the light of day until now....

and they're still as gorgeous now as then

being a timeless design and having been
created to make any little girl feel like a fairy princess regardless of the occassion...
my eldest loved hers so much she would sleep with it under her pillow
 afraid the fairies might come in the night and take it if she didn't.

The sizes vary
Child Size 3-8
and they're now available in the On-line Shop
or here at the Studio.
