Molly's New Dress

I'm a little hung up on this "big girl look" lately (I explained that here on this post), so I've been working on a new design for my Molly. I think this is Jane Austen meets American Girl. What do you think? Are you seeing it? Or maybe what I should ask is...What do you see? What was your first impression? I am considering drafting a pattern for this dress, and I really can't get past "Miss Jane". It just sounds so perfect!

This fabric is a voile type cotton that I bought on vacation two years ago, It's so thin and dainty and it flows so nicely, I really do love it. The bodice is gathered all the way across the front and back and the neckline is square-ish (Did that make any sense?). I used pearl buttons down the back to add a more heirloom look. I wish I had taken a picture of that, oh well, maybe later.....right now God is watering our garden so I won't be taking any pictures today. I'm not complaining either, our garden needed it! Speaking of the garden, oh my goodness! This morning I had an omelet with fresh tomato and bell pepper, and for lunch we will be having fresh green bean soup (including fresh dill and other spices) with homemade wheat rolls, and for our snack I made cucumber and tomato salad. Summer meals are the best!!!! There is nothing better than eating fresh out of the garden for every meal! We have already started to get enough veggies to put up for Winter too, and that makes me very happy. There is just something about cutting up those still warm veggies for the next meal that just makes everything taste so much better, ya know! I think there will be a post very soon about our Summer meals, maybe we could all exchange our favorite 'fresh from the garden' recipes! Look at me...I start the post out about sewing and a new dress and then I write more about food than the dress...I'm going to eat some of that green bean soup...
