A traditional southern hand smocked - hand embroidered dress - customized chiffon Swiss dot rose fabric adorns the outer layer with the finest organza mint on the inner layer. Button closure in the back. This dress is ideal for Sunday School or church. A relic of a bye-gone era brought back to life to be cherished for generations. This one is for your petite keep trunk and to be passed down generations. Heirloom quality and reasonably priced. This started as a personal project as I wanted my daughters to have this dress! After sourcing the custom chiffon fabric with this specific blue rose Swiss dot print - the cost to do so was not reasonable for the fabric quantity required to purchase (customized chiffon fabric). Opening this as a pre-order is the only way I could have these made for my daughters as I wanted to match Jenny’s dress in the strictest way!!
I could go on and on about this dress and the weeks it took to recreate the chiffon Swiss dot rose print fabric but I’ll stop! It’s an obsession of all things traditional and southern that drove the recreation of this treasured dress, from a movie I simply cannot watch without a tear in my eye. Especially the precious childhood scenes of young Forrest and Jenny!
