    Default First Communion dress

    I made this dress for my granddaughter's First Communion ceremony.
    It was challenging - 4 layers (lining, petticoat, dress, and sheer overdress).
    It took hours and hours. But in the end, I'm very proud of it.
    It actually looks better in person. The camera made it look a lot shinier than it really is.

    Beautiful. You made a beautiful dress and I'm sure she will be beautiful in it.

    Is she going to wear a veil?

    Jean, what a beautiful dress - one to treasure forever!!
