The gown arrived in pristine condition, with a very smart dust cover too, so thank you very much for arranging that. I'm very happy with it, have tried it on and she looks just gorgeous in it. In fact, there's not a lot of room for manoeuvre in the sleeves, so it's as well you steered me towards the 6 month size! Hat is roomy but not absurd. Am looking forward hugely to Sunday, and if we get a good picture, I'll e-mail it to you. Thanks again MH/uk
