Happy New Year & Project Pink #1

Happy New Year, friends!!!
During our winter break, I took time to tackle some designs that have been on my drawing board.I have 3 pink projects. Today I share with you the first.
1) Ariel's Pink Dining Gown
This gown was one that I have been pondering for so long now. The question of design I had for this dress was the conflict between the long sleeves design and warm weather ( yes, I do run into designer dead ends :)
Since most of my customers wear their Ollie Girl! to the Happiest Place where the climates are mostly warm, I struggled with my decision.
But alas, I reconciled the problem! I designed the dress with short puffy sleeves and sewed REMOVEABLE matching sleeves which are sort of like arm warmers/faux long gloves.Of course the dress can be made with permanent long sleeves, but I LOVE options, so I am offering the design this way as well.
The pointed wrist hem is trimmed with white pearls, making them oh so Ariel!
This dress is perfect for your pink mermaid princess!
But wait... there's more ;)- This dress is also available in seafoam green like Ariel's Grotto dress for those mermaids who just can't stay away from oceanic tones.
Ariel's Pink Dining Gown belongs to the Calico Princess Collection and features the lines original peasant style. I would be happy to create this dress in a zipper back traditional dress style at your preference as well.
More photos will be available once this dress has been modeled.

Another fun design I worked on in the beginning of the month was a Mary Poppins sheer under blouse to be worn underneath the Simply a Princess, Mary Poppins sundress. The underblouse is embellished with pretty lace and sequin detail on organza. The result was simply adorable and added another dimension to the versatility of the dress!
