Oh, how I love the idea. What a special gift and story to have to pass along to the next generation. Thanks for sharing

Oh, it is beautiful, glad to see it is being used and not sitting on the shelf! Lily is too cute!

It's wonderful to make such a pretty gown from the wedding dress, maybe embroider the baby's name and birthdate in the hem ... you can later add any brothers or sisters she may have. It's an old tradition. Lily is so sweet!

wonderful

Beautiful! I made a couple baby blessing outfits from a wedding dress (for someone else...it wasn't my wedding dress), but yes, it was still hard to make that first cut!

DA Mayer, This is a gorgeous Baptismal Gown. Thanks for sharing. Eiltcoq.

Both are beautiful and priceless

What a beautiful dress for a baptism and what a wonderful place to get the fabric from. 98% of most wedding gowns are not ever worn again what a great use for it. Love it.

BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLL...

Stunning!!! What a great talent you have.

It is just beautiful. Now she needs a shadow box with that christening gown along with a pic of the baby in the dress and one of mom in her wedding gown.

How beautiful. This is real nice grandma.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Great job.

Oh my how beautiful.The baby is beautiful too.

Oh my! That is going to be a treasured family heirloom! Just beautiful...and probably will be used by great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.....and on! What a lovely way to use the dress.

Awww, that is beautiful! My mom gave me my christening gown and hat that was made from her wedding gown. Makes them more special.

That is so sweet - as is the baby!

The gown is exquisite and you have hands of gold. Luckly Little Lily!

Aww! The baby is so cute. The dress and jacket will be cute as well.

Oh isn't that sweet!!!

Beautiful dress and baby!

Beautiful dress AND beautiful baby! I'm sure that dress will be treasured for many years to come.

Both are precious!!!

I MADE MY SON'S CHRISTENING GOWN FROM MY DRESS AND I'VE NEVER REGRETTED IT. IF ANYONE HAS MADE A QUILT FROM A WEDDING DRESS I'D LOVE TO SEE IT. LUCKY BABY WITH SUCH A TALENTEDGRANDMOM.

Gorgeous. If it's going to be passed down to others, it might help to embroider the baby's name and baptismal date on the slip for each baby that uses it.

Lily is beautiful and so is her baptismal gown.

I did the same with my wedding dress over 40 years ago , for my daughters grown , then when her children were christened 35 years later we used it again , I made a fine cotton petticoat to go under it and embroidered their names on it it looked so lovely , and has been now put away for great grandchildern .

Now we know why you were looking for little dress/baptismal gown patterns! Great job and so special.

WOW!! That looks wonderful! Great idea & you did a fantastic job!

That is just beautiful and the memories that go with it through the years.....of course miss Lily is just as beautiful.....;-)

Oh so sweet

Very pretty. So is the GD.

How sweet, that dress is wonderful. The baby is so beautiful.

Gorgeous and very special

Oh, what a sweet baby! I showed DH and said, "Loooook". My youngest (out of three) is 2 and though I'm happy with my herd at it's current size, I get a twinge when I see a baby. :)

Gorgeous gown as well. You do very nice work. I don't think I could have brought myself to cut into a wedding dress but thankfully you had your DIL to persuade you. :)

A pair of golden wings and she will easily be mistaken for an angel. What a lovely gift .. the wedding dress was worn on a day celebrating the ultimate of love of her parents and now will be worn again by the angel conceived in love. I think there should be a picture of the momma on her wedding day and one of the baby taken on her baptismal day and both framed as a gift for the parents and one day the child too when she grows older. This is what memories are made of I think.

That is beautiful! I would have a hard time cutting that up to, but you did wonderful. :)

Lovely!

how sweet she is.

Gorgeous :)
