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.
