I had seen this beautiful dress on the cover of Sew Beautiful magazine and wanted to make it for a while.

I decided to make it for my oldest grandchild, Hope, knowing that she was getting too old for frilly dresses, she wants to look like a teenager, not a little girl.

The photo above is a close up detail of the lace fancy band on the bottom of the dress.
