I just finished a christening dress for a pastor's baby daughter. I did English smocking on the front, lace insertion alternating with 5 pintucks just above the hem of the dress, and attached lace edging to the bottom. It had puff sleeves with ribbons around the sleeve band. I enjoyed doing it all. I would charge for making another one though. I bought several yards of cotton batiste fabric which wasn't very expensive. I also made a slip to go underneath and embroidered the baby's name and birth date on that slip. The parents were very happy with it.
