Description
BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE CHRISTENING GOWN 42"LONG 28" WIDE DECORATIVE PANEL AT THE FRONT HEM 10" DEEP DECORATIVE PANEL AT BACK!! beautiful full length front of gownclick picture to enlarge hem of gown at frontclick picture to enlarge BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE CHRISTENING GOWN 42"LONG FABULOUS DECORATIVE PANEL 28" WIDE AT HEMThis gorgeous antique christening gown probably dates from the late 1800's/early 1900's and is in excellent condition for it's age. There a couple of repairs to the upper bodice which really don't show unless you look for them - you wouldn't know they were there otherwise. A tiny hole at the waist and some rust spots all at the back of the dress. The gorgeous robing has a few broken 'points' but none of these flaws detract from what is a fantastic gown.I have provided 12 pics so that you can see up close the embroidered frills, the inserted bobbin laces, the feather stitching between each band, the tiny pintucks, the bobbin lace at the neck and at the cuffs - AND, at the back of the gown, which is usually plain, there's a 10" deep section of more of the same laces and frills!!!The gown fastens with two tape ties, one at the neck and one at the waist.Beautifully white in a medium weight cotton which I have laundered and starched to show off the decoration to it's best effect. This gown could be worn or added to an antique linen collection. Displayed on it's own or used to dress an antique doll, this item is sure to please.The pics should provide any detail I have left out of my description, but if you need more please get in touch.Many thanks for looking.

Please read the boring bits below and then you can browse the following 10 pics.Vintage /clothing and linen has a beauty all of it's own.
