My husband's great grandmother had a Christening gown made for her in the 1800's by her grandmother. They were Presbyterians, so the babies were Christened. My husband's great grandmother, grandmother, both his Dad and uncle were Christened in the gown. All four of my husband's siblings and he, along with his 3 cousins were Christened in the gown. His four nieces and nephews, along with their eight cousins were Christened in the same gown. Our daughter, Rachel, wore the gown when my husband I were dedicated in the Church to raise her as a Christian in the Baptist Church where we attended and were members.
This doesn't have to be a one-time event gown. It could be treasured for generations!
