Description

Two infant christening gowns constructed from white cotton lawn, dating to the early 20th century, circa 1900-1920. The first gown features short sleeves and a square yoke with vertical pintucking. The skirt is decorated with horizontal pintucking and a wide band of machine-made lace insertion above a lace-trimmed hem. The second gown has long sleeves with lace-trimmed cuffs and a matching pintucked square yoke. The full-length skirt is detailed with multiple horizontal bands of lace insertion and a deep scalloped lace border at the hemline. No manufacturer labels, country-of-origin marks, or size tags are visible on either garment.
