The gown is Edwardian (1901-1910) making it over 100 years old. It does need a bit of minor repair to one seam and the addition of buttons to the back but I've been sewing since I was 4 years old. I can handle this simple repair.
Here are the photos of the dress:
With a 22 inch chest and an overall length of 33 inches it will fit Little E come Christmas easily. Little E is already boasting a 17.5 inch chest.
Now to find shoes, a slip, and a onesie for the big day. We already have the bonnet which was a gift from my MIL which she purchased while in Scotland. The bonnet becomes a hankie she can carry on her wedding day.
Today while Little E was doing her floor time I grabbed my dino camera and took some pictures and video of her. There is no sound to the video.
I'm glad you found THE gown! She is so adorable :)
