Beautiful girl and beautiful dress. My 15 year old granddaughter does Irish dance. When she first started at 6 years old,I made her a fairly simple (If there's such a thing) dance dress for Christmas. My daugher said that as soon as R. opened the package she rushed to put the dress on. Success! I'll bet your daughter did the same thing.

You are an awesome nana! I feel like the next one will be better. If you have any tips, please PM me. I fought with the vilene and the worst part was the lack of a pattern.

Now I have to work on a garmet bag that DD cut out and started but got stuck on.
