oops, wrong pic....and now can't find the right one....anyway, the dress is all lace, beads, many layers.
I am making my latest Granddaughter's baptism gown out of my daughter's wedding dress... She said she doesn't plan on wearing it again! The fabric scares me because it is a washed taffita - I think that is how it is spelled - and it ravels very easily. My daughter does not want any lace just plan and simple. I think I will add some little pearl buttons out of Baby Fay's Great-Grandma's button jar however.
The Baptism is the middle of June and I plan on starting on it this weekend. Good luck to us both!
