Antique Tablecloth linen dress

This dress is almost One-of-a-Kind. I think I have enough tablecloth left for a second dress, so it really should be called Two-of-a-Kind. This flower girl dress is made with antique linen table cloth that caught my eye with its neat hand-made cross-stitch embroidery and linen softness. This was my first time up-cycling antiques/vintages, and I enjoyed making this dress a lot.



















Texture, baby-blue stitching, pink roses and petal pink silk sash make this dress a perfect match for an antique garden-style wedding. This particular dress is priced at $110. You can purchase it here, or give us a call at (626) 395-7445.
















The dress is in size 3-4. The dress is 30" long (76cm), if the bottom hem is tucked in, it is 21" long (53cm). It would fit the child with 23" chest (58cm) and 22" waist (56cm), however you can move the buttons in and out a little to tighten it up a bit or to let it loose.

There is still enough fabric for a second up-cycled table cloth flower girl dress that can be made in a different size (I think, up to size 5). Two matching cross-stitch embroidered ring pillow can be also produced.
