A delicate and beautiful antique baptismal dress and bonnet set, acquired in France. While many are made of cotton, this set is crafted from exquisite silk muslin, and is a meticulously made, one-of-a-kind piece, entirely hand-sewn. It is a masterpiece that evokes the craftsmanship of a bygone era and the soft texture of time. ⸻ Materials • Dress: Silk muslin (a lightweight, sheer silk weave) • Bonnet: Cotton organza and delicate lace combination The elegant luster unique to silk muslin harmonizes with the ephemeral sheerness of the organza, exuding a quiet beauty as if one is wearing a moment of prayer. The touch is soft and moist, with a texture that seems to gently embrace the air. There is some slight yellowing on the upper part due to aging, but it retains the beautiful texture unique to antiques. The lining is likely polyester fabric, which was repaired in later years. ⸻ Size (measured flat) • Dress length: Approximately 75cm • Sleeve length: Approximately 20cm • Cuff circumference: Approximately 20cm • Bonnet top diameter: Approximately 10cm • Ribbon length: Approximately 86cm (Please allow for some margin of error) ⸻ Condition It is in good condition for an antique item.
