originals are seen trimmed with fringe in a circular or "V" pattern on the
bodice (jacket) and as decoration on the wide pagoda sleeves. It also
lends itself for use with tartans, as well. Skill Level 1

Melanie, c. 1856
Harriet first made this dress for competition in 1976. In
’79, she won 1st place at Greenfield Village scoring just 1 point shy of a
perfect score of 100. Although the skirt is very full, the whole dress is
very light and delicate. The fashionable use of lace over the ribbon on
the sleeves is attractive. The skirt and bodice are both sewn to the
waistband.
Incl. sizes 6-16.
