Pattu pavadai.. A traditional dress for the young girls down in South India... It can be bought ready made or stitched according to choice. The grandness of the dress depends on the occasion. I stitched this for my daughter.. who loved it. The long skirt.. flares out as she twirls around.. I stitched the skirt with a attached bib to act as a slip and the top is stitched with puff sleeves and a low back with ties.. Loved the color and the gold work adds grandness..
A simple Frock with top bib and gathered skirt. With satin ribbon ties for back toes and a zipper back opening. Added the lace trim for extra decoration. It's a very easy project with the right measurements and the basic bodies draft pattern.
I did this for my Sil..4 yrs back :) When i was going through my album i found this and decided to put it up. Both of us had gone out shopping and had bought this sheet but we could not find a matching pillow cover. So, we went and bought a plain cover and i traced the picture from the sheet and did the embroidery..the colours dont match much since at that time i did not get the same colour thread and they were in a hurry they had to travel back home the next day. but all in all.. it came out well. :)
