Rosamargarita's Tiny Dress

A few weeks back, I was lucky enough to win a beautiful miniature hand-crocheted dress. I saw the post on Rosamargarita's blog, La Tapatia. She showed beautiful plants in  her garden, and then "surprise," there was a beautiful pink flower on one of the plants. But the flower wasn't really a flower, it was a beautiful ruffled dress that she had made herself.

I was the first person to comment about it, and then Rosamargarita announced that it was mine! Wow! I was thrilled. She mailed it to me all the way from Guadalajara, Mexico, so it took several weeks to arrive. I was so excited when the package finally showed up in my mailbox. I immediately put the tiny dress on my mini teddy bear. Here is "Teddy" modeling the dress:


Can you believe all of the teeny tiny stitches needed to make all of those teeny tiny ruffles?! It is very fine work, and done so perfectly! To give you better perspective on the size, here is Teddy wearing the dress inside the heirloom 1:12 dollhouse (Dad's Dollhouse) that I am refurbishing:


See how tiny it is?


Thank you, Rosamargarita! I am in awe of your beautiful work. You are an artist and a good friend! Big hugs! Until next time.... xoxo Jennifer

    Querida Jenny, has creado una preciosa composición a partir de una cosa sin importancia, es solo una flor... nacida en mi patio!
    Muchos besos para ti amiga.

    Congratulations on winning such a beautiful piece, so very well done. It reminds me of a flower we call "Nelke", I think it's carnation in English. Teddy is a great model, fits perfect - the only thing is: Can he still move or is he a Roly-Poly now? ;O)

    Greetings

    Birgit--You bring up two good points. First, you are so right--the dress DOES look like a carnation--beautiful! Second, you asked if my little bear can still move with the dress on. Fortunately, that tiny bear has moveable arms and legs, so it is not a "Roly-Poly" now--what a relief, huh?!
