Meadow Bubble Dress
Marie Antoinette loved to visit the Petit Trianon when she needed to escape from court life at the Palace of Versailles. There, she dressed more casually and spent time in the meadows. This bubble dress, made from a Liberty of London print called Meadow, is scattered with lavender clover blossoms. A low, square neckline is trimmed with delicate white lace and a silk ribbon bow. I bought this fabric 20 years ago in Canterbury, England and have never used it until now.

Chantilly Sheaths
Chantilly means whipped cream in French and the frothy treatment at the necklines of these sheaths reminds me of something sweet, light and airy.

Each neckline sparkles with hand sewn beads and crystals.

La Volière Coat Ensemble
A classic swing coat ensemble in a Tilda print cotton. The fabric’s ground is blue, with a motif in sea glass green.

The slim, boat necked sheath dress is in the same print as the coat. A silk ribbon rosette with sparkling beads acts as a brooch.

A simple evening sheath in shell pink silk taffeta sports a dark rose silk sash. A blush pink flower hat is the grand finale.
