Slip Created to Coordinate with an Italian Christening Gown

This beautiful linen christening gown was purchased in Italy. The center of the yoke had a tulip embroidered on it. At the client's request, I removed the flower and embroidered an Old English letter "J" in its place. The monogram was embroidered in white.

 

The gown was buttoned at the yoke in the back, but the center back of the skirt was left open. To keep sweet little legs from peeking through, we decided to create a slip that mimicked the skirt design.

The skirt of the slip incorporates 1/4 inch pressed tucks with a band of lace insertion and a flat lace ruffle. An empire yoke was used on the slip. The slip was made in Swiss batiste.

Embroidery on a T-yoke Dress

This T-yoke dress is being made by a client for her daughter. She asked me to embroidery the T-section of the dress using a photograph of a design she liked.

The feather stitching and shadow stitched bow were created using yellow DMC# 745. The roses were embroidered in DMC #761 and DMC #818. The center petals consist of two bullion knots with 7-8 wraps made with the darker pink. The outer petals have five bullion knots with 12-13 wraps which radiate around the center knots.

The daisies have five petals made up of two bullion knots with 4-5 wraps each in the light blue DMC #776 and the center is a French knot using yellow thread. The leaves were created using a satin stitch in DMC #504.
