Ashlyn's Blessing Dress - Nearly Done

I'm super excited about this sewing project. I haven't sewn anything in over two years beyond mending clothes. I'm making a blessing dress for Ashlyn's big day. It's a custom made combination of East meets West. I started with a traditional christening dress pattern to get the western look with a long dress, puffed sleeves and gathered waist. Then I altered the neckline and found some super cool Chinese brocade silk fabric. It's coming together fantastically. Here is the bodice so far. Should be done tomorrow.
