While at my Friends house (my Sew Sew's Hostess) I had a peek in this box.
I was thrilled at what I saw!
The front yoke of the Gown.
This was a silk baby gown owned by one of her family members.
Silk doesn't hold up very well over time, unfortunately.
Close up of the hand-stitching on the yoke.
Tiny Hemstitching, little Tucks, Featherstitching and Embroidery.
The hem is finished with hand scallops with lace stitched behind the scallops.
Each scallop had a touch of embroidery.
This is the matching slip. It was in better condition.
And beautiful as well!
I love the way the slip was so pretty. With accents that matched the gown it was made to go under.
The slip is pretty enough to be a dress.
The hem of the slip had lace edging gathered to the lace insertion. And embroidery bordered the hem as well.
There was a matching Bonnet and Booties.
I will show you those next time.
