Gown to Family Heirloom

Heirlooms are something special that can and will be passed down from one generation to the next.  Inquire how you might be able to use your gown. 

October 2006 - Wedding to Baptism

Stephanie was married Sept 2005.  During the spring of 2006 Stephanie and her husband brought into this world a lovely daughter, Mairead.  This October, their honeymoon baby "Mairead" is to be Baptized.  In her attempt to have something special to pass down with Mairead and other generations, Stephanie wanted to have her wedding gown cut down into a new family heirloom - which was chosen to be this Baptism Gown.

All materials, including zipper for closure, were taken from Stephanie's wedding dress.  The bottom hem of the Baptism dress is the same trim that was at the bottom of Stephanie's dress.  The bodice, from Stephanie's wedding dress, was used on the bodice, sleeves, bonnet, and blanket edges.  The only material that was not original from the dress, was the fleece that was used for the fleece blanket.  The edging on the blanket, was the original satin from Stephanie's dress, pieced together to give it the final finish.

Thank you Stephanie.  It was a pleasure to work with you and your mom in creating this special heirloom for you and your family.   ~ Laura
