October 2006 - Wedding to Baptism
Stephanie was married Sept 2005. During the spring of 2006 Stephanie and her husband brought into this world a lovely daughter, Mairead. This October, their honeymoon baby "Mairead" is to be Baptised. In her attempt to have something special to pass down with Mairead and other generations,
Stephanie wanted to have her wedding gown cut down into a new family heirloom - which was chosen to be this Baptism Gown.
All materials, including zipper for closure, was taken from Stephanie's wedding dress. The bottom hem of the Baptism dress is the same trim that was at the bottom of Stephanie's dress. The bodice, from Stephanie's wedding dress, was used on the bodice, sleeves, bonnet, and blanket edges. The only
material that was not original from the dress, was the fleece that was used for the fleece blanket. The edging on the blanket, was the original satin from Stephanie's dress, pieced together to give it the final finish.
     
 
Thank you Stephanie. It was a pleasure to work with you and your mom in creating this special heirloom for you and your family.
- Laura

November 2006 - Snow Ball Gown
Since Heather was home-schooled, she never had the opportunity to go to a formal dance in high school. This being her junior year at college, Heather will be attending her first formal dance, with her fiance. This is the University of New Haven's Snow Ball Dance that she will enjoy.
The dress is made with a formal fabric, having gold swirls on beige fabric. In the pictures it comes through as all gold. The sleeves are made with a beautiful contrasting light sage organza fabric. To avoid discomfort from the many fiber's on the backside of this fabric, the dress was lined in a silk
type lining, to provide an elegant feeling and nice flow while Heather walks and dances.
  
  
  
This dress was made using Simplicities Costume Pattern 9891
