Taking inspiration from the alb which a priest wears over his cassock, I made this baptismal gown from 100% snow white linen fabric, decorated with intricate lace and embroidery.
Taken from a 0-3 month pattern. Measurements are approximately 8.5” across the waist, 22” long. Not meant to be fitted. This gown will most likely be oversized on your newborn. This is to accommodate many different size babies. Features a high low skirt.
Plain white button back of the neck that can be easily undone when anointing the baby’s back during the baptismal ceremony.
Cross Embroidered Linen Baptismal Gown
Being hand-crafted from repurposed fabric left over from altar linens, naturally, there may be minor imperfections in the garment that have gone unnoticed. Though it does not affect the overall wear and homemade quality of each piece. Sold as is.
