A perfect sundress, Heidi has a gorgeous feature front panel (that also doubles as a pocket!), to show off some of my favourite fabrics.
It usually features a front contrast waistband and generous pockets in its full skirt. It is designed to sit just above the knees for a fun vintage hem.
The elastic back panel and shoulder ties allow for an adjustable fit, but please keep in mind that this style has a slimmer fit. It can be sized up quite easily.

The sweet Harriet romper features a front vintage hankie or scalloped fabric, and an attached skirt, making it perfect for little ladies who are crawling or just starting to walk.
It often features very special vintage fabrics for its skirt, in bases like windowpane dimity.
The romper has a snap crotch and soft, shirred leg openings (for softer fabrics).
The back straps attach with buttons to the bodice, these can be moved up or down the straps if necessary to alter the size. The back elastic panel makes for a comfy and adjustable fit.
