Pioneer dress - part 1

My friend, Barb, is going on a wagon train trip with her 6 (or 7) year old grandson.  It is for a week in North Dakota, at the end of June.  Everyone has to wear appropriate clothing so I volunteered to make her a couple of dresses. 


I am using McCall's Pattern 9423 for the dresses and bonnet.

 We both think the apron will be very warm and will be getting a simpler apron pattern to use.  Here is the first dress, with matching bonnet.
