Victorian Christening Gown

c.1890

What an exquisite amazing dress that seems to almost breathe and smile. Spiraling ruffles and the lightest softest cotton batiste combine to make this christening gown magic.  The back is as gorgeous as the front, closing with two cloth-colored buttons and a stunning, almost transparent, lawn sash. In spite of all the trim, the gown is delicate and balanced. Even prettier  in person. Superb condition.
