I started making it on February 22nd, 2008. I am using Aunt Lydia's Fine Crochet Thread size 20 and it's getting a little fuzzy. I would definitely recommend using DMC Cebelia as specified by Jacqui.
So far I am probably 1/2 to 2/3 done with it. It's hard to keep going as it keeps putting me to sleep. The results are worth it. Here's how it looks so far...
I want to make a matching coverlet, booties and cap...
Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment! :D

Please, I am desperately tryint to get to the pattern instructions for this dress, but I am having no luck at all. Because this was a free pattern, would you be willing to post the instructions here. I used this same pattern for my daughter's blessing gown and it turned out absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately, I have lost the hard copy of the pattern. Thank you for your help.
I will see if I can find the instructions. It's been awhile since I downloaded them. I know I have them; it's just a matter of locating them.
I am unable to share this pattern unless I can get permission from the original designer. This information is quoted directly from the sheet that I have.

I will check on Ravelry to see if the pattern is available on the internet at all.
I found it via Ravelry! The pattern is here:

Unfortunately that link is not working either...anyone have a means to share this pattern. I am awaiting the arrival of my first grandchild and would like to make it.
I am sorry the link did not work for you. I checked it and it went directly to the archive with no problem. It even has a picture of the dress.
I clicked on the link in the first paragraph of this post.
