Naomi's Colonial Outfit

Diana, my ultra-craft friend, hand-stitched the layette below for Naomi. She is working on a blue set for her darling boy for Colonial Times. It has the undershirt (day shirt), gown, bonnet (complete with ruffles for the girl set) and sash. The little slippers are not handmade or historically accurate, they were just too cute to resist putting on the baby!

Naomi was relatively patient with us. I'm going to need to get a better picture to show the length and bottom of the gown. I lifted up part of the ruffle to try to show it in the picture since it was hanging down. It is very very pretty.

This gives you an idea of the length, tho the lighting is off and doesn't show as much detail.

Here is the gown with the sash. She was starting to run out of patience, so not a lot of pics with it tied.

This pic shows the ruffles on the bonnet. I need to get a picture from behind. The bonnet has a drawstring in back that can be let out to accomodate baby's head growth. Doesn't she look sweet? :)
