Heirloom vintage download pattern of the popular heirloom gown in a shorter version. The pattern includes instructions for gown, headband and slipper type booties. A lovely gown perfect for those babies who are walking already. It finishes up at the perfect length so the baby can walk without trampling on the dress. It has the same heirloom quality like the longer version. These 2 patterns are favorite among buyers.
I have included a headband that matches the edging of the bottom of the dress and sleeves. The slipper shoes also have a slight ruffle around that also match the bottom of the dress.
This gown measures 22 inches in length and the waist is 24 inches that can be adjusted by the ribbon.

It will fit a baby up to 12 months.This gown is just as beautiful as the original but will take you half the time to complete. It will take 35-45 hours to complete the whole outfit.

There are 31 written pages in American terms with photos.

The pattern calls for no. 10 crochet thread to be used. You will need about 2200 yds of thread. I love working with thread. It gives more of a lacy look than yarn does. It does take a bit longer to finish but well worth it.
If you would rather have a bonnet to compliment this dress, you can purchase it separately at: https://etsy.me/2EDDFFf

Upon completion of the dress, I recommend that a slip be worn underneath because of the open crochet pattern. PegsPrettyCreations does an excellent job on custom orders, any size or color.
