I also included a surprize in the package, but if you don't like it, don't use it...lol. I prewashed the material before cutting and sewing, and I washed the dress when it was completed, to make sure it stayed together and didn't shrink up or anything... no problems, (did cold water and a hand wash machine cycle, with a normal high speed spin), dryed it on delicate (low heat) and ironed it with some evironmentally safe spray starch. Also, I went back and added an iron on stabilizer as that fabric is a bit thinish, so that made it a bit studier. And it's lined with a pink silk/cotton blend lining, so it should not mat her hair too much, if at all!

Hehe! Now I'm on pins and needles waiting to see how it looks on her...lol!

Oh my gosh Kathy.......you did all of that...WOW! You are so very thorough...geez, that is alot of work! I'm so excited too....I just know it will be perfect. When I saw the picture, I said "there's my Zhoie girlie in her new dress" LOL

Oh, believe me....I'll be sharing pictures
