Inspiring embroidery

This is the bodice of a little Bonpoint dress I bought for Adelaide in Paris earlier this year.

I think she likes it - there are her eager little hands making a grab for it.

I love the simplicity of this dress - the striking contrast of colours, and the straightforward cut of the dress.  

I'm off to pull out my embroidery pattern books.  I think I might spend this long weekend with embroidery hoop in hand.

On another French note, have you purchased anything lately on line from Cyrillus. If so, would love to see some photos on your blog. I purchased a few things in their sale, such lovely clothes!!!!
