These matching bishop dresses were made for two cousins as a gift from grandma. They are made with 100% cotton fabric and silk ribbon so they will be perfect to put in a cedar chest for the great-grandchildren to wear. The cost for these dresses is $75. It's just slightly more than average due to the cost of the high-quality silk ribbon.

Above-Size 6, Below-Size 12 months

The section that looks different in the larger dress is called puffing. This is a technique where rows of smocking are skipped to allow the pleating to "puff." It was impossible to do this on the smaller dress because the rows needed to be too close together to fit this large pattern onto the small dress.
