I'm so happy and pleased to report back, that I finished the dress just in time for the birthday girl's party yesterday. I was practically stitching up until the very last minute. Many of you requested a peek at the finished babydoll dress; so here it is...almost done, pinned up and awaiting the hem. (above)
Looking quite dainty with a tiny (removable) ribbon corsage.
Ahhh...finished, wrapped up, and ready to take a ride to Portland.
And a perfect fit! More pix here.
*Happy Mother's Day* to all you Mom's out there too!
Oh how adorable! I knew it would be perfect!

Incredily cute! It's a winner for sure - hopefully her Mum will pack it away as a memento for when she is older (and can appreciate all the love that went into it!)...Jewels

Well, she is a sweet little doll. How sweet it must feel to see her in it. It's beautiful.
