Features gathers at front neckline which is trimmed in French cotton lace edging. Neck lace is finished with self fabric bias trim to protect tender neck and chin.

I didn't complete bonnet, but I will if the new baby is a girl.
This is the first time I've sewed a dress almost completely by hand.

Mary is being held by our only daughter, Amanda, who lives nearby. We don't, so I didn't get to witness Mary in her dress. I'm glad they took a photo!

Lesson Learned:
Starch fabric heavily and dry before attempting to use wing needle for stitching Madiera applique hem in place. I made a h*** in the outside of the white batiste, lace and pink batiste. I was able to darn the h*** so that it didn't show unless one is looking for it.
