the dress: the skirt is black and white striped, a striped ruffle layer and a black white white polka dot ruffle layer, accented with black lace. The bodice is white eyelet fabric, lined in white cotton. vintage lace is sewn down the front, with 4 small black buttons, and a black bowtie with a vintage black button & pearl in the center.
the jacket: made of felt, the collar is folded back and held with tiny black buttons (a little bigger than on the front of the dress). The sides are small and don't cloes together, so that the vintage lace of the bodice and peak over the top. The same vintage lace is sewn to inside of the cuffs to look as though it is a long-sleeved shirt. the back of the jacket has a fake corset embroidered in white, long ribbon.
the headband: 3 sizes of yo-yos are sewn to a thin piece of black felt with a tiny piece of velcro on each end to hold it together. the center yo-yo is the largest in the same striped fabric as the skirt, accented with the same vintage button and pearl as in the bowtie; the next two are the same black with white polka dots as the last ruffle on the skirt, accented with white ribbon roses; the outer yo-yos are, again, the striped fabric, accented with 2 beads.
