oops, wrong pic....and now can't find the right one....anyway, the dress is all lace, beads, many layers.
For an acquaintance, I've made two Baptismal Gowns from the mothers-to-be First Communion dresses. Left the skirt length as it was; but used a pattern to cut the bodice; left it as original as possible, like the button down back, resized the fancy sleeves or lacey yokes.. Lots of work, but turned out great. Have one more to do once the daughter gets married and pregnant!!
