Very pretty gown! I understand your frustration with the buttonholes at the fabric edge. I've had success placing a folded piece of fabric under the rear portion of the presser foot so you may want to try that on a sample at some point. Love that bias tape!

That is a wonderful nightgown, and I am sure your sis will love it! The bias binding looks great and is really a special touch. That button box is a treasure.

A lovely nightgown. Your sister is very lucky to have it. I found getting everything to work at the front neck of this one tricky, too, but it's worth the trouble.

Very pretty! Love the bias tape. I agree with what Flying Seamstress said about using extra fabric to level the presser foot. I don't have this pattern so I'm not sure, but I would guess that with this particular design, you might be able to make the buttonholes first. Because of the bias binding, you don't have to flip the facing out and sew it around the neck right sides together, which having buttonholes already would make really difficult (does that make sense?). (I did use an industrial buttonholer in school but yes, most of the time we did have to do the buttonholes at or pretty near the end, depending on the design of the garment. The buttonhole machine didn't have problems with fabric thickness. Some industrial buttonhole machines cut the buttonhole open at the same time, but the one at school was a kind that didn't, probably for safety reasons)
