As my DD was 5'10" and maybe 106lbs at the time, and I was 5'3" and 120lbs when I got married, needless to say, she wasn't going to wear my gown. After taking it all apart and separating lace, satin and crenoline, I made two baptismal gowns, 1 girl, frilly,lacey and with sequins and matching bonnet and 1 boy, using the satin and very little frills, more like a lace overlay and a matching bonnet. My DD still has both, and they will be passed down to her children.
