Victorian Baby Dress, I did this one by myself & as you can see @ the bottom it is & a little crooked. I was nervous. I am showing the 2 pics so you can see how big it is by itself & then the ribbons (no elastics) squash it up to fit. I did a cutwork @ the bottom hem & 2 rows of bar stitch cutwork (takes forever) & then added 2 rows of pin tucks. I have to resist the temptations to add a bit of color here. It was hard because I wanted to add a little vintage design here. My daughter wants this for her Photography business. She thinks it will be great on babies. She is very happy with it & I am too for my first one on my own. Even if it is a bit plain
