Flower Girl Dress

I talked in my latest planning recap about flower girl dresses.  The dresses that I found online were ok, but they weren't perfect and I was really worried about ordering online.  So, while we were visiting J's family at Christmas time, I talked to his mom about making a flower girl dress for me.  I told her that if she could make the initial dress, the tailor who's working on my dress could alter it if necessary.  She said she would do it... HOORAY!

So, today, I went and looked at patterns.  I found a really great McCall's pattern and bought it!  Here's the dress...

NOW... you have to use your imagination.  Here are the specs for my dress...
Bodice - Ivory
Skirt - Dark Purple with an Ivory Lace overlay
Instead of the ribbon around the middle (which you can barely see here) there will be an Ivory sash.

It's going to be SOOOO cute!!  I only bought the main fabric needed (J's mom is going to get the lining and the buttons or zipper for the back), but I only paid about $25 for it, so I'm feeling good about it!

Now that this decision is made, I just have to send it to Minnesota to J's mom and let her work on it.  I already bought the basket and know that I'm getting purple petals, so that just leaves me the shoes and accessories to figure out!  I'm open for suggestions...
