I finished it about a month ago, and my cousin was thrilled with the final product. I'm certainly proud of it!
Here's the gown being modeled by my full-size baby doll. After putting it on the doll, I realized that the skirt is so lacy that it is a bit too revealing.
So, I sewed in a lining of white satin:
It looks MUCH better now!
Here are the pretty buttons on the back:
This was my first attempt at buttonholes, and I'm very pleased with the result!

Sandy, it's gorgeous!
can we get a copy of the pattern??
The pattern is online, but I changed the skirt to a much easier lace pattern. Also, the pattern online did not have the correct number of stitches at the skirt before their lace pattern began. (That's the reason I changed mine.)
Here is the original pattern:

And here is my lace pattern for the skirt:
Lace Wings Pattern
Row 1: Purl
Row 2: K1, K2 tog, YO, K1, YO, Slip Knit PSSO, K1
Row 3: Purl
Row 4: K2 tog, YO, K3, YO, Slip Knit PSSO
(Of course, in the round, you knit rows 1 and 3)
It's a 7 stitch multiple pattern from "The Complete Encyclopedia of Stitchery" by Mildred Graves Ryan on page 496. (That book is my Knitting "Bible"!)
