Little Treasures

Here is the Christening outfit made from that beautiful gown! (see post on November 16, 2014).
Satin, lace and trim all from the wedding gown. The sole button from the gown was used to secure the neck in the back. Trim at waistline came from trim under the bust line. All I added were 2 hooks, a snap and the ribbon at the jacket neckline.

Satin trim on jacket is from the lacing on the back of the wedding gown.
Beaded trim on jacket front was originally around armholes on gown.

Lace Jacket

Inset at bust of gown was hand stitched to top of bonnet

Something old, something new....

A local girl wanted to wear her mother's wedding gown - but it didn't quite fit, and the style was not what she wanted. See how I transformed this country style gown from the '80's to a more modern style, all her own.

From Bride to Baby...

An heirloom christening gown was a request back in November 2011...here is a picture of the gown. The date has been set for June and she just brought me her gown. I was given a picture of what she would like for her daughter's gown. I will incorporate the gown fabric and all of the trim. The trim at the top of the bodice will be used at the hemline of the christening gown...pictures to follow!
