The pattern is from Oliver + S, the Family Reunion Dress. I did add a few alterations, but as always, the pattern had great directions and tips to follow.

Did you notice the one big mistake I made? I reversed the pintucks in my hurry. Oops.
Here are my darling girls together. So glad they still like me sewing for them! The headband Dolly is wearing I made a few years ago...you can see the original post HERE.
I've been gearing up for Christmas sewing...what projects are you up to?

Beautiful frock! And no I didn't notice any pintuck issues! Your model looks so happy!
Love the fabric! Yeah like I would ever notice any mistakes, the sewer that I am not . I just noticed you changed your profile picture. Love it. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I did not notice any pintuck mistakes, either. A very pretty dress indeed!
Your two girls are SO cute together!
Cracking up at her turned around and smiling, funny! She is too sweet. We sure do know when we look cute ;)
