    You did a wonderful job on that gown. And Mommy and Daddy did a wonderful job on that baby. What a precious little one she is. And I know a Grandma's love is the best. Congrats on both. May she never lose that gorgeous smile.

    What a fabulous heirloom. Hope you include the story about its origin with the dress and many generations will continue to wear it and cherish it. I made one for my middle son's children and embroidered the names of the kids and their birthdates on the slip in white so it wouldn't shadow through the dress. Your GGD is beautiful and her smile says it all.

    I did make a slip--can't find the pic just now. It's very simple, made from lawn with
    a lace cross on the front and lace on the hem. I did not embroider the name, etc. on it. Didn't even think of it, actually. I think that is a great idea & I am going to get it back and do that. Thanks!

    I was commissioned (twice!!!) to make baptismal gowns from "Mommy's" First Communion dress. They turned out really nice. I don't think I would have 'guts enough' to cut into a wedding dress because I wouldn't want mine cut into. Doesn't make sense....it just hangs there in the closet doing no good!!!

    Absolutely gorgeous...and the gown is pretty too.

    Seriously...your DGGD is a beauty....and you are one talented lady. That Christening gown is sure to become a family heirloom. Thanks for sharing.
    Of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most.

    I know what you mean. The first time I made anything out of really nice fabric when I made a flower girl dress for my granddaughter for her aunt's wedding. After I got the fabric, it took forever for me to make the first cut. I was terrified of ruining it! It was easier with the wedding dress, as my daughter had not had it cleaned and stored properly. It was just in a vacuum bag. It was stained and not enough space that was not stained to get a cutting. So--nothing ventured, nothing gained. I washed it and it came out beautiful, not a stain left. Even the lace came out clean. I was lucky!

    Another thing I did not do. I did not include the story of the dress. Will have to do that, also. Thanks!

    Both are stunning!!! She is absolutely adorable....and what a good job you did. You're quite talented.
    Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

    Some people are like Slinkies - not really good for anything, but you still can't help but chuckle when you see one tumble down the stairs.
