That is just what I did last week .
You could say I have been busy !!! But really enjoyed doing this for a friend .
Wished I had thought to take a picture of the wedding dress but I didn't .The top part of the Christening Gown is the original front of the wedding dress . I put the pattern front over the front of the wedding dress and cut it out . I removed the lace on the sleeves and from the bottom of the dress .
The dress is from the 1970s . Not overly fancy and full but every bit as beautiful !!
Also made the handkerchief bonnet . Added the lace from the dress to it and also put a ribbon bow on each side of the bonnet . The small bit of ribbon is the only thing I need to buy to make this christening gown and bonnet
