{Everyday Skirts}

This everyday skirt can be made of nearly any kind of fabric, including denim, to suit your everyday needs. It can be further customized to have pockets or ruffles, trim or buttons. We can also add a cotton lining for summer or slippery silk for winter to go with your favorite wool tights and leggings. The wonderful thing about this style is how versatile it is. It is easily dressed up for a special occasion or dressed down for a family barbecue. Head over to our skirts page for more pictures and information! What does your favorite everyday skirt look like?

Pictures of the New Girls' Gathered Dress!

I made these dresses for my granddaughters from a pattern my daughter created just for me! I'll be offering ready-made dresses with both short and long sleeves in sizes 2 to 10. I just wanted to share a sneak peek. These are really cute over pantaloons (which I'll also be offering). The dress on the left has a regular empire waistline; the one on the right has a high empire. Belle gives her dress a twirl to show off the skirt! The bodice backs are gathered, too. This little cowgirl got a fit of the giggles when we took pictures! Side view, showing the puffed sleeves with self-ruffle. This pattern gives a beautiful Regency/Jane Austen era look but in an easy-wear format. Elastic casings in the neckline, waistline, and sleeves make this garment one even a toddler can pull on (no buttons or zippers!). Eventually, I'll be offering this as an ePattern you can purchase for instant download if you'd like to make your own dresses. Stay tuned! All photographs by Deep South Im

{Coral House Dress with a Peter Pan Collar}

A beautiful new, rendition of our classic Ladies House Dress, an original Practically Pretty design. Sarah Lewis, one of our seamstresses, did an exquisite job sewing a pretty fabric into a practical dress. What do you wear daily to remind the world of our Creator's handiwork?
