It is a work of love, and spectacular to boot! Congrats!

This is a true heirloom to be enjoyed, hopefully, many times.

Oh! That's beautiful. Great work on this, and what a wonderful project to be a first-time lace work. This is something that will definitely stay in the family and be appreciated for years to come!

This is an old post, but I had to show off pics of the baby dedication where Emma wore this gown last Sunday.

Oh, so sweet. The gown is lovely, the baby is lovelier. I don't know how I missed this before. You did such a beautiful job.

Thanks for sharing the modeled picture! What a sweetie! And your little dress looks fabulous on her.

I love how she's looking at it, too!
