This is for our new grand daughter to be born Aug. 29. Our church has a baby dedication instead of baby baptisim. BUT my daughter wanted a long dress for the last little girl. The emb. is from Martha Pullen's internet club and the insert along the bottom I found in MY mother's "stash." Of course we had to use it! My mom died in 1994 & she would be so tickled to see that dress! Sorry the detail doesn't show any better.

Beautiful dress Don't understand the "dedication". Are the children then baptised as adults? or not at all?

Just curious. Good luck and happy memories on the dayHugs

Oh, I like that! I'll have to put that in a note to go with the dress telling where the trim was found!! Tks

Congratulations on the pending birth of your grand daughter. Made by you using your mother's fabric insertion ~ it just couldn't get any more special.

lovely dress

What a beautiful dress. It is wonderful that you included something from the past. Joining the generations together. Cindy B.

Well it lovely!!hugs carolyn

By the way, my daughter goes to church with Martha Pullen. I'd like to get a picture of her & the baby...but I have soooo many "hidden" mistakes I hope she doesn't look very closely at the dress!! Dedication is in Nov., so it'll be awhile before we have a picture of baby IN the dress!

This baby dress is so lovely& glad you shared your family sewing heritage too. I'm sure this will be enjoyed as a treasured heirloom. Thanks for sharing your work& God's blessings.:~D

This is a beautiful little dress and granny would be very pleased to see the great grand in this dress....
keep passing it on, as it is timeless.....
