A friend at work gave me the ‘It’s a Girl’ cards to make the
dress. Her daughter can be a bit of a ‘tear-away’ so she thought it
would be nice if something sweet and pretty was made from all of those hopes
and wishes given at her birth, to reflect the sweetness she hides underneath the troubles. These lovely old cards are mixed with a vintage childrens' illustrated book (which name I do not have but will try to find). All are to fit 5 year old Shirley and Theodora (Dicephalic Parapagus Twins), although it may be a little scratchy.
The inside of the dress is the story from the greetings
and poetry from the cards and some more story.
