Martha Pullen (Sew Beautiful Magazine) online site has exquisite heirloom designs. She has a lot of nice things.

Tiny hearts and flowers - would be lovely on the color and bodice and on the skirt a large heart with lots of tiny flowers. I guess I like hearts and flowers. Hehehe!

I had one for when a long time ago for our daughter. And on the front it had a cross. I hope you find something. And I am sure it will be beautiful. Good Luck. Peg

There are so many options, and I probably shouldn't comment because my talents are way way low on the scale compared to most people on this site. But....I like tone on tone - so white or pearl embroidery on white fabric, heirloom designs and a religious symbol on the front - that's the kind of christening gowns I favor. I would love to see what you do, if you would post pictures when you are done! I think those garments are so beautiful, in all their incarnations!

Congratulations on doing your first Grandbaby's Christening gown. Christian cross on the front bodice with tiny little lacey flowers, bows and hearts embroidered in the softest possible colours, is what I would do if I had the honour. Enjoy. *****
