    Beautiful. I made a very similar dress from my wedding gown for my daughter (nearly 25 years ago.) Love the addition of the little white jacket. It is a treasure.

    Beautiful job. Wonderful heirloom. Great use of a dress that would otherwise just sit in a closet.

    What a brilliant little outfit (amazing how you forget how tiny they are!). This is such a beautiful idea, and for both Grandmothers to contribute is really special. She looks like a really sweet little person. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
