1st Birthday Bishop Dress

Well, I got the "practice" smocked bishop dress finished in time for J's 1st birthday.
I even had time to iron it with a couple of days to spare.

Here are some pictures so you can see the final product in use and having survived
a very anti-climatic birthday cake moment. (She did not like the frosted apple spice
cupcakes - only the non-frosted ones!)

The sleeves are not properly puffed, as on a "real" bishop dress. But, for my first time
creating a bishop dress, using a pattern created with her measurements (see vani's blog and other links here), and
doing any smocking, I'm very happy with the results. As a cousin of mine said, it's
"Smocktastic!" And, if I can toot my own horn, I'll agree.
