Dress for First Communion

I made this dress long distance for my grandaughter with about a week notice and measurements from her Dad! The dress is all white satin with white tulle underneath. I shirred the bodice just to make sure it would fit. Although I am still waiting for pics of her wearing it, the dress fit perfectly and she told me she looked "Gorgeous"!
