Description

Child's christening robe [baptismal gown] of white cotton, machine stitched. Elaborate front with eyelet insets and lace eyelet edging, also some tucking. Drawstring neckline and drawstring back bodice. Skirt is very full and long - far longer than the baby's legs. The embroidery on the eyelet and insets maybe hand done but is very regular in appearance. [Jones, Isabel 20231109]2023.11.16 Heather Corbitt -small tag inside skirt H. McGrady Costume Collection
