Thank you for your lovely comments.
It was a very special order which I'm sure I'll always remember. I've never been asked to make such an item before, and hopefully, nobody will be in such a position to need me to make one again in those circumstances.
I was told that the mum cried when she saw what I'd done.
I was close to tears myself when I got the little sleeves in and hung it on a hanger. It looked so sweet.
I've just clicked on maliw's link to Cherished Gowns. I've heard of them before. I should imagine they're inundated with gown donations, but I'm surprised they didn't respond to your offer to help.
Now I'm toying with the idea of helping....but I can't. I mustn't. I have lots of other things to do...but I'll bookmark the site just in case.
Sandra.
