Description
**Vintage Baby Christening Gown with Bonnet and Original Box**
This is a traditional white cotton christening or baptismal gown with matching bonnet, displayed alongside its original retail box. The gown features an intricate embroidered front panel with delicate floral motifs and appears to have pin-tuck detailing on the bodice and sleeves. The garment has long sleeves with gathered cuffs and ribbon ties, typical of formal infant ceremonial wear. The matching bonnet shows similar embroidered details and ribbon ties.
The gown measures approximately 24-26 inches in length and appears sized for an infant 0-6 months based on the proportions. The fabric appears to be a fine white cotton or cotton blend in good condition, though some age-appropriate yellowing or cream toning is visible. The embroidery work shows skilled craftsmanship with raised floral designs that remain intact.
The original box is labeled "Madonna" and features vintage graphics with a mother and child illustration surrounded by red and blue stars. The box shows "Boy's Christening Set" text and appears to be from mid-20th century retail packaging, suggesting this set dates from approximately the 1940s-1960s. The box shows expected wear including discoloration and edge wear consistent with age, but remains structurally sound. This appears to be a complete, well-preserved christening set with its original packaging, making it both a functional garment and collectible vintage item.
