Christening Gown of Windowpane Cotton

C.1915

 

 

 

 

This christening gown features a rounded yoke of embroidered lawn, sewn to a dress of crisp, snowy white, windowpane cotton. The ruffle and lace insertion are slightly heavier cotton than usual, making for a good match of weight with the windowpane cotton. Just above the final ruffle, silk ribbon has been laced around the circumference of the skirt. A lighter cotton lace adorns the long-sleeve cuffs and neck. Two lovely antique buttons close the back. Superb condition.  #040434.
