Antique Vintage Infant Christening Gown Cotton Eyelet & Tucks
This baptism christening gown was handmade by my great grandmother (1869-1955) for one of her children. She trained as a dress maker and owned a treadle sewing machine. Found in a trunk in my family’s Civil War house in Gettysburg Pennsylvania.
