Baptism Dress

We have a cute little granddaughter that just turned eight!  I told her I'd make her a dress for her baptism.  I really envisioned a lace dress, but had trouble finding

what was in my mind. Isn't that always the case!  Anyway, I just happened to see this pretty eyelet the other day and knew I'd found the right fabric.  Here's what I came up with.  Hope she likes it.  Also, hope it fits!  It's hard sewing long distance!

The first time I saw New Look pattern #6487  I thought of one of my granddaughters.  I love shirt dresses and thought this was a pretty cute one!  I followed the patterned exactly and added a little belt with a D-ring closure.  Hope she likes it!

 I made this dress for the second time starting with Simplicity pattern #1433.  I added some decorative stitching along the neckline and a little ribbon belt.  This dress is not hard, but watch the seam allowances--some are only 3/8".
