The heritage of the christening gown is beautifully captured in the pages of this full-color book. Five of Sew Beautiful's most exquisite gowns are featured with full-size patterns, templates, and illustrated instructions. These designs include traditional christening styles, machine smocking in the hoop, a bubble with a detachable skirt, and an ornately embellished ensemble with matching coat and bonnet. In addition, a breathtaking pictorial showcasing several of our best christening styles is included. An array of heirloom techniques are brilliantly woven together forming each of the pictured dresses. Embellishment techniques include heirloom sewing, machine and hand embroidery, lace shaping, pintucks, puffing, bias tape shaping, shadowwork appliqué, and smocking. Also included are patterns and instructions for a garment bag, slips, bonnets, and many other christening accessories.

Christening Gowns (The Best of Sew Beautiful)

Martha Pullen

At least 200 years of American history is preserved in the DAR Museum's costume collection — the majority being donated by DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) members whose family stories add historical and often poignant interest to the individual items. This fourth volume in Martha's Favorite Places series is brought to you by the DAR Museum's curators and staff and their selective focus on nearly sixty items from the Museum's treasures is reflective of our American ancestors' sense of fashion, practicality and needlework artistry. The educational legacy held within its pages hearkens back to a time when clothing was the means through which childhood innocence was preserved, days of mourning were honored and new birth or days of lifelong marital commitment were celebrated. Hardcover, 144 pages; no patterns or instructions are included.
