Christening Dress with Slip

C. 1950

A lovely batiste christening ensemble. Features a front panel made from one piece of cotton, brought together at the top with tiny rows of sweet pintucks. Here and there, delicate sprigs and wreaths of pretty flowers have been embroidered on the front of the dress, the puffy sleeves, and on the slip. Both hems have been cut into wide scallops and finished with cotton lace. The dress and slip are just about the same length; the effect together is sweet and fluffy. The neck and arm edges of the slip are finished with small embroidered scallops. This dress was hand made by the Alfred Leon Company.  Superb condition.     #040501A
