JJ5_Christening Day and Dress

What a pretty christening gown! The b&w photos show so much detail. Of course the photo of the baby wearing it is much cuter! I like the alpha & the plant embellishments and the red background.

Oh, my! I've been waiting and waiting to see this beautiful dress you made with such love! It's absolutely gorgous, Dot! I can't believe how much Maeve has grown since the last picture I saw of her and her Mommy looks so tiny to have just had that little one! Precious layout, Dot.

You did a great job on the layout and the dress. Beautiful gown for a beautiful baby. Of course, the expression on Maeve’s face is more like “get me out of here”. She is such a cutie. You are blessed.

Love the light burst... it seals the deal! I can't believe you made that dress-- it's stunning!

Beautiful job photographing that exquisite dress. I like the way the light peeks through so we can see the details. I knew that you did heirloom sewing, but, gosh, Dot, this is so gorgeous! Maeve looks like an angel in it. I like the touch of a dove -- so appropriate for a Baptism - and the rest of the layout, too. Beautiful job all around.

Maeve is gorgeous, Dot and so is that exquisite christening dress you made her. I love the detail and ruffles and all the dainy touches. How special for Maeve to have a dress her Grandma made that someday she can dress her own baby in to be baptized... Precious.

I love your layout, too and being able to see beautiful Maeve in her dress with her Godmother who looks so proud.... (Although you're right - Maeve looks like she's about had it with her outfit!)

Beautiful, beautiful dress. This is one to save and pass down the generations. You can't help but smile at Maeve's expression - Her feelings perfectly expressed! Photographing the dress with a black background was a very good idea - the details are luscious. Lovely journaling and scripture.

wow - takes my breath away that dress.... just stunning Dot! Your layout does it justice, the lightburst, the quote and the dove, even the little cross in the light burst - beautiful... I really enjoyed the journalling too, so personal and heartfelt :-)

Beautiful LO for a beautiful gown and baby! So many hours of love all bundled up in that dress!

I love it all! But, especially the pictures. Wonderful!

Amazing dress that you lovingly labored over! What a priceless inheritance for her!

Wow, what a beautiful gown, and for a beautiful baby as well. Darling LO.

The dress is beautiful!!!! Love the LO!

Oh what a beautiful Christening gown. That could become a family heirloom. Love the botanicals down the side.

Gorgeous dress & I love the little embellies you used with this - I wouldn't have thought about using the flower paper embellies but it evokes a vintage feel. Something that echos back to the tradition of a christening gown.

What an absolutely gorgeous gown! I can't believe you made it! I love the tucked photos and the bright star in Today!

Awww. My niece is named Maeve too. Love that dress.

Oh my goodness, so pretty and the christening gown is beautiful. Godmother and baby are beautiful also.

Beautiful work on the LO and I can imagine all the hours you put into the dress which is beautiful. Kudos to you.
