Notes from Designer:
Gown is open all the way down the back - do NOT join. PLEASE line the dress, especially the skirt.

For different looks, I have used other stitches on the skirt -- for a boy, a simple DC is good. I have also extended the length of the skirt and have woven a ribbon through the last row to gather for the look of a ‘sleeping gown’.

Note from Raveler:
When I made this pattern for a fall burial. I wanted to soften the colors so I added a ruffle, between the bodice and dress, using the shell stitch pattern of the dress.
