Celtic Diamonds christening gownThis christening gown is made of Ulster linen.
It is three and a half feet long, unlike the other Celtic christening gowns
(which are 3 feet long), and
the focal point of this gown is the panel of diamonds down the front,
Shown are a selection of Celtic designs, but you may, of course, choose any other motifs to suit you. These were sewn with white thread on the white linen. The bodice of this gown has a V-shaped lace design with the knot cross embroidered in the center.
The same V-shaping in lace is on each sleeve and on the bonnet to tie the whole outfit together beautifully! A wider French lace finishes the hem of the skirt, the face of the bonnet and the hem of the sleeves. Sleeves can be the straight shirt sleeve style or slightly puffy with ribbons as shown...or finished in cuffs, your choice. This christening gown ties in back with double-faced satin ribbon to accommodate many baby sizes for the future!
An elegant family heirloom. This gown and bonnet set is $285.00 Call to order 440-474-4009 Here is a rough sketch of the diamonds. I've numbered them if you'd like to choose which designs you'd like and where. There are 7 possible. #1 is the most prominent design location.
This can also be made of silk dupioni. Extra charge applies. ($335.00) Perhaps you would like a slip to go beneath the sheer linen.($45.00)
A variation on this theme is the "Ian", a classic Celtic panel gown. A 10" wide center panel is covered in lovely Cluny laces, a few sets of narrow tucks, and beautiful eyelet trim, a beautiful focal point for this traditional 3-foot long gown for boys and girls. The sleeves are short, just slightly puffy and gathered into a narrow cuff. The hem is finished in a matching Cluny lace edging and the matching bonnet completes this christening set. All for $285.00
