First time attempting a dress. Will try to make it a little less stiff next time but I still love this because it really did look like the Christening gown my Mom made for my first little girl(after 3 boys!)- The real gown was made from family heirloom cotton lace pillowcases made for my great grandparents Wedding night and had amazing detail that I tried to capture with a fondant writer. I used super pearl for the whole thing and made a replica of my mom's cross that my daughter ( and I ) wore.
