GS Baby Boy Christening Gowns
These patterns are perfect for little boys as they are not too frilly (a
common complaint) but perfectly tailored for a boy. The gowns included
feature simple construction and several design options using a variety of
unique trims and fabric textures that are perfect for little boys.
Fabric selections such as linen, linen batiste, Swiss flannel, Heirloom
Crepe, silk dupioni, satin batiste, as well as the more traditional Swiss
batistes, pima cottons, and polyester-cotton batistes are perfect choices.
"Embellishment options presented in this book include a pointed collar, tucks
used with tiny pearl buttons, cording, or Swiss eyelet trims, and neckline
treatments that include the use of entredeux-edged Swiss trims, tatting,
and cording. The sleeve options are all ideal for use on gowns for baby boys
and there is the additional option of adding hand shadow work or machine
embroidery, if you desire."
