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.

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!!!

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.
