This is Ing's gown. and the slip too. I am going to go up and work on the bonnet in a mintue. I need to do the buttons, but I always have to do the buttons.
There are some detail pictures of the embroidery. I hope it is okay and everyone likes it, as it is almost too late to change it in any significant way. The slip is a little longer than the dress -- just the lace peeks out from under the dress. Like I said before, it is a *simpler* gown than Lon's but in no way did I skimp of the construction. The bodice is fully lined, (sleeves included), there is piping where the bodice attaches to the gown, (perfectly placed), the lace is of the finest quality. The seams are all frenched. Heirloom quality throughout. The slip the seams are all frenched also. No skimping allowed for my niece!
Gotta go do the buttons and the bonnet. No problem! The bonnet will also have the same embroidery and be fully lined.
