Taking inspiration from the alb which a priest wears over his cassock, I made this heirloom baptismal gown from 100% medium weight snow white linen fabric, decorated with cotton cluny lace trim, IHS cross embroidery on the bodice, and a cross embroidery on the skirt. Unlined.
Taken from a 0-3 month pattern. Measurements are approximately 8.5” across the waist, 27.5” long. Not meant to be fitted. This gown will most likely be oversized on your newborn. This is to accommodate many different size babies. Please allow for 1-2” variance with each gown.
Instead of traditional buttons, I opted for a bow in the back to be easily undone when it comes to anointing your newborn’s back during the Rite of Baptism.
