Currently, one Mela Wilson Cathedral Christening Gown is available. Others may be pre-ordered to be delivered in 4 months.
The sentimental Victorian design features three rows of entre deaux lace and a 1.5 inch lace ruffle circling the yoke. Sleeves are perfectly shaped with three rows of pintucks, 1.5 inch inserted lace, and a 1.5 inch lace ruffle.
Fifty-two rows of vertical pintucks around the bodice create gentle pleats giving an elegant flow to the long skirt.
Two rows of 1.5 inch lace circle the lower portion of the skirt which finishes with a fabulous ruffle of three inch lace.
Ten rows of precise horizontal pintucks contrast wonderfully with the intricate lace patterns.
The gown opens only at the top of the yoke in the back with a three button closure.
The matching bonnet features wide lace ruffles, inserted lace, and satin ribbon.
The matching slip is hand embroidered with a traditional Bow and Baby's Breath design intended to frame your child's monogram. A four-inch ruffle trimmed in lace finishes the slip.
Measuring 43 inches from neckline to hem, this gown is perfect for celebrating the christening of your baby in a grand setting.
