Wedding Dress Becomes Heirloom Christening Gown

Many brides are faced with the dilemna of what to do with their wedding dress after the wedding.  It’s such a special dress that it is hard just to package it up and store it away.  Well, my sister had a fabulous idea - to take her wedding dress and make her new daughter’s christening gown from it.  Of course, its one thing to have an idea and then another to make it a reality.  Fortunately for her, our mom is a talented sewer and was able to make my sister’s dream come true.

Our mother has been sewing since she was young and has made everything from doll clothes to her daughter’s clothes (not that we appreciated it when we were younger!).  She doesn’t sew for a living - its just a hobby for her, so she was reluctant to take scissors to my sister’s wedding dress.  After much cajoling, she agreed to do it, but wouldn’t make any promises to the final outcome. 

As you can see from this photos, her efforts resulted in an absolutely stunning christening gown:

If you don’t have a wedding dress you’re willing to cut up or a talented sewer in the family, you can always purchase a heirloom quality christening or baptism gown.  We found these beautiful baby christening gowns.
