When talking with Miss K and looking at the same websites (long distance), I decided that she might actually like this dress better then the blue one I posted about a couple of days ago. I sent pictures of both patterns and fabrics, and she chose the blue and the other pattern. But, I already had this pattern and this fabric, so I decided I'd make both dresses and let her have 2. If she doesn't like it, maybe I can shorten it and Miss J can wear it. The style I think would work in this size for either of them. 
Here the dress is completed. As you see on the pattern, this was an easy dress to sew. 
The fabric is so sheer that it had to be lined. I tried some solid purple cotton that I had. It didn't look right. I tried white. That was awful. But, when I tried black, it looked just right. This sounds like Goldilocks, doesn't it?

I really think this is a gorgeous dress. I love how the fabric is sheer on the sleeves and the way you made it opaque on the body was just right! Loved the blue dress too. I wonder which she will like better? It's a tough choice. Congratulations on the blog award too. I loved reading about each of your grands.
So cute! The sheer sleeves are so pretty. I can't imagine her not liking it!
There isn't anything wrong with being "juuuust right". It's a really pretty dress and I always love your sleeves! I'll be interested in seeing which one she picks - I would imagine it's going to be BOTH!
I love this dress!! I think it is very elegant and the fabric is really pretty!
So very pretty. Love the bow, it really dresses it up.
Beutiful!! If I had looked at this pattern,I would have never envisioned such a formal looking dress. You continue to inspire creative thinking
