Sheer lawn christening gown.  c. 1890.  #070105M.

Wow.  This special gown is very sheer and light as air.  All hand stitched.  Very long.  Its outstanding feature is the front panel which alternates bands of lace with embroidered strips, and time-consuming ruching.  Closes in back with three original buttons, beautifully disguised under a row of embroidery.  Superb condition.    $250.
