Daygown with Swiss Embroidered Trim

In this version of Sarah Howard Stone, Inc. Babette pattern, Swiss embroidered trim is rolled and whipped to entredeux on both sides of the placket. It is also applied to the sleeve cuff. It created a sweet, old fashioned look. Ribbon was added to the entredeux beading on the sleeves. I created another gown using blue Swiss embroidered trim.

Both daygowns were designed by and made for Sarah Howard Stone. Inc.
