Baptismal dress

When the loving hands of mothers embroider and sew during the magical time of waiting.. here is this #ancient #baptismdress with its delightful #cap in tulle… they are many, many years old so the fabric (especially the cap) is yellowed in some places; but the condition is excellent as is the #embroidery. Beautiful even framed in a painting and hung; in an #ancienthome or as #antiquefurnishings in a historic ironing/tailoring/laundry. Or simply… a #specialgift for a future mother who loves the antique!
