Angel Gowns

You may remember from my last post that I was making some Angel Gowns out of a wedding dress.  Well I have finished all the gowns from that dress - 15 in all.  Some are quite basic and others are not. 



 
The one below is not so basic...

 
This one below is a basic one...







 
This one below is my favourite.  It nearly didn't get sent back to the organisation to be sent out...



I think the lace on this one is too wide - oh well, live and learn as they say...



 
That one was from the front of the wedding dress.  All I had to do was cut it out at the right spot.  Some family is going to be very happy to dress their little Angel in this gown.
 
I also made up bootees for each gown in matching colours.  Some of the bootees are only 1 inch - 2.5cm - long.  Sooo tiny!
 
Now that these have been handed over I am now onto another wedding dress.  This dress had a really long train with small buttons all down it - from waist to hem.  Can you guess what some Angel Gowns will look like??
