Antique 1870 Exquisite Handmade Embroidered Infant Baptism Christening DressSELLING THE DRESS AS IS
I am selling this dress for an elderly woman, who had this passed down through her family. She has notes documenting the date the dress was made, the name of the person who made it, the child who wore it, and the event (baptism) for which it was used. There are additional notes about relatives, as they relate to this dress. I will include those notes in the shipment unless you prefer that I exclude them.
This is an EXQUISITE dress with amazing detailed pleating, smocking, embroidery, and lace.
The fabric is a stiff cotton.
I don't see any tears or holes, but the dress is missing the buttons on the back, and it is covered with stains. I have not tried to clean or wash the dress.
Shoulder to hem: 23
Waist: 23"
Sleeve: 9"
If you have additional questions, I can ask the owner of the dress.
