**Vintage Baby Christening Outfit Set**
This is a complete vintage baby christening or baptism outfit consisting of two white cotton garments with lace trim and a matching bonnet, presented in an original gift box. The set includes a sleeveless slip or underdress with a simple ruffled hem, and an ornate christening gown featuring elaborate eyelet lace panels down the front and decorative lace trim at the hem and neckline. The matching bonnet displays similar eyelet embroidery and lace detailing consistent with the gown's design.
Based on the garment proportions, this appears to be sized for a newborn to 3-6 month infant, with the gown measuring approximately 18-20 inches in length and 10-12 inches across the chest when laid flat. The original storage box features a pale green background with a diamond lattice pattern decorated with pink baby motifs including bottles, booties, and other nursery items, measuring roughly 16 × 10 × 3 inches.
The condition appears very good to excellent, suggesting these garments were either rarely worn or well-preserved as keepsakes. The white cotton fabric shows minimal yellowing or age spots, and the lace trim appears intact. Based on the box design and construction style, this set likely dates from the 1950s-1970s. The formal nature and quality of the lace work indicates this was intended as special occasion wear for religious ceremonies.
