Victorian Cotton Christening Gown

Here we have a cotton Christening gown from what I believe the Victorian times, could be earlier.

Compared to some examples it is quite plain with just a small amount of embroidery at the front of the bodice again around the bottom and a narrow band at the edge of the sleeves.

The neck and waist are tied with a small ribbon/cord. The waist has tiny pleats which are hand sewn.

The bottom of the skirt has a plain panel running round it, which forms the hem.

There are two tiny buttons missing, one from the neck and one roughly where the bottom would be.

*Please note - Sold as a collectors piece or for a doll only*

I would suggest this dress is either displayed as is, or placed on a doll and displayed.

Measurements:

from arm pit to arm pit (flat) 29cm

15.5cm sleeve length

skirt length from bottom of bodice 83cm.

Skirt width at bottom (flat) 86cm.

Please note all my items are vintage and therefore some may show signs of aging; I will always try to show this in the pictures.

If you are purchasing from outside the UK, please note you may have additional customs fees to pay.
