Thank you all for the links - nearly all of the dresses at those links are 100% nylon or polyester. This is what I am trying to get away from. I am looking for 100% Cotton.

I called Beehive Clothing and I will have to go with long sleeves - to the wrist. The other requirements are: Modest neckline, at least tea length (just above the ankles). No see through material. As for fabric - modest. So I am assuming that beads and bangles, sequins, velvet are not appropriate. Those would be way too hot for me anyway.

Now I will go and look at dress patterns and fabrics. Depending on the pattern, I just may be able to make it myself. If it is simple enough.

Oh, I should have asked if I can make the rest of the articles. No, can't make anything other than the dress. ok - now I have a "mission" to find a dress pattern I like and hopefully can make.
