    What a wonderful idea!!! And it turned out just as pretty as that little bundle that will wear it. She sure is a cutie pie

    What a great idea. I am not sure which is prettier, the baby or the dress LOL. Of course the baby is.

    Beautiful dress for her baptism and a beautiful baby. A lucking girl to have grandmas who sew.

    I have repurposed/designed three (3) weddings into Christening gowns (long) for the brides baby girls. Most girls think their daughters will wear their gown but it just doesn't happen. There is no reason not to cut it up into something that is more likely to be used more times that one.
