Avery’s Silk Lined Baptismal Gown Made from Grandmother’s Wedding Dress

 

The out­er bap­tismal dress lay­er: Avery’s grand­moth­er’s wed­ding dress (organ­za and flo­ral trim) 

The inner bap­tismal lay­er: white stretch silk charmeuse

I loved work­ing with Avery’s moth­er and grand­moth­er! They both shared opin­ions on what they liked/wanted, but they also gave me the free­dom to design what I thought would look best. 

Ulti­mate­ly, I decid­ed to design some­thing like the grand­moth­er’s wed­ding dress and use as much of the grand­moth­er’s fab­ric as possible.

(The flo­ral trim pinafore and waist­band remind­ed me of the grand­moth­er’s square flo­ral trim neckline.)
