Thank you jrob. I have never made this elaborate outfit before, so I took my time and practiced the pleats and pin-tucks on scraps of material to get them just right.

My two year old grandson was the last child and now the next child will be my sisters first grandchild. 104 year sanning3 generations.
253107Wow, it's beautiful, you have done a great job!

78093This is just lovely, surely a labor of love.
Are you embroidering the child's name and baptism date anywhere on the dress? One hundred years from now it would be interesting to see how many children wore it and that it has been passed along to.
8227Cindy, you did a fantastic job on this baptismal gown!! This will be treasured as a keepsake for sure!!
Hugs,
Angel
