    Description

    Excellent vintage Christening Gown with repairs. I have soaked them in a specially purchased product for just vintage linens that removes all stains and brings them back to a snowy white. There is a 5 inch long section in the back of dress with tiny holes (seen in picture #7) in the bottom quarter of the dress and a mend to right sleeve (seen in picture in picture #8).  There are 8 rows of beautiful ruching and in between beautiful Ayrshire and embroidery. I have washed and pressed the dress so they are ready for your special baby or doll as soon as you receive them.
    I have purchased all of these gowns and underskirts starting in the early eighties and some of them more recent. They are all from the 1800's to the very early 1900's and have been handmade with great detail and with many hours and days of tedious and elaborate work for that special day.
    I have taken measurements of length, spread, sleeve length, shoulder to shoulder and waist if applied. There is nothing more than the detail that photos show and have taken many and posted the best of them. If you should need additional photos please let me know. I will try to address any imperfection or areas of concern but hopefully I will not overlook anything. I was able to see everything while pressing them. Some may have a button missing if so I will let you know or maybe an area where the material has thinned some or a repair was noticed. If I have overlooked something that is detrimental to the dress please let me know so that we can make it right.
    Thank you for looking and hope you will follow my auctions.
