Prairie dress

New from Serendipity Girls Designer Dresses

My latest design is PRAIRIE, a chocolate brown jersey dress for age 8. It reminds me of travelling across the Canadian prairies before the wheat had emerged and the vastness of the earth and sky created an unbroken endless horizon. The dress has a hand embroidered appliqué folk art design on the front bodice with flounces and frills on the rest of the dress creating a feminine country style. There is a co-ordinating floral fabric on the long sleeves, flounce and frill edging to the buttonholes on the back bodice. The dress bodice is lined and has a round neckline. Flowers and chocolates – what every girl loves!

GEMMA dress

New from Serendipity Girls Designer Dresses

Another party dress hot off the press! This little girls dress is called ‘Gemma’ and is for your princesses aged 4. The dress is in an unusual creased antique gold satin, partly overlaid with vertical lace panels in a floral design. The dress gleams and would certainly light up the eyes of a little girl as it is very pretty and also has the swirl factor that girls like. For busy mums the dress is machine washable and does not require ironing.

Strawberry dress by SerendipityGDDs

New from Serendipity Girls Designer Dresses

“What have you done today to make you feel proud?”

I was listening to the inspirational song called Proud, sung by Heather Small, whilst finishing my latest dress ‘Strawberries’. Every dress that I create is a proud achievement when it finally comes together.

Sometimes I start out with a sketched design and then amend it as I go along. Sometimes the addition of a trim or button makes the dress come alive and it ‘steps out of the ordinary’.

The red satin ribbon trim on ‘Strawberries’ was not planned at the beginning but I thought it added zing to the finished dress and emphasised the colour of strawberries. The fully lined sundress is made for a 2 year old and has a lovely strawberry print on cotton voile. As it’s 100% cotton it is machine washable so it doesn’t matter if ice cream gets dropped down the front!
