The Lewis Christening Gown is another wonderful example of the way embroidery can personalise a christening garment and make it truly personal to the family concerned.The Lewis Christening Gown is made from 100% pure silk dupion and the main attention is focused on the front panel that is decorated with hand embroidered musical notes. The notes swirl upwards from the base of the skirt towards the front bodice. The skirt is pleated and joins the bodice at the waist. A small front panel is centre to the bodice. Robings decorate both bodice and skirt panel and these are adorned with vintage trim. The robings also contain an inverted pleat to ensure the embroidery stands out on the gown.
Long sleeves with cuff detail and a shirt collar give this gown a boyish look, but the christening gown can easly be made with puff sleeves or short sleeves and a no collar to give a look more fitting a baby girl.
The Lewis Christening Gown is a welcome addition to the range of hand embroidered gowns available from Lttle Doves. Other embroidery styles and themes can also be encorporated.
Linda Patrick of Little Doves believes that the Lewis Christening Gown is the perfect solution for families who want to personalise a christening gown and make it unique for their family. "The Lewis Christening Gown has been created for a family where the father of teh baptised baby is a musician. What better way to celebrate his talents and ensure that that is remembered than to embroider musical notes on the gown" says Linda. "Here at Little Doves we are extreley concientious about creating the best quality christening gowns and our attention to detail, especially in creating authentic pieces is second to none."
