A-Line Christening Gowns II includes designs for baby boys (and girls, too, but the focus is on boys). The A-line design has a back button closing. Sleeve variations include a long straight sleeve, an elbow length puff sleeve, and a long puff sleeve. Variations include a large Peter Pan-style collar and a design suitable for monogramming. This pattern provides a wonderful way to showcase unusual trims or hand or machine embroidery. It may be made in a simple fashion to satisfy the most discriminating fathers who declare "No lace on my son!" It may be made with a somewhat conservative design using geometric laces or trims or heavier fabrics such as linen, Heirloom Crepe, or Swiss flannel. It may also be embellished in detail for boys or girls. The nice thing about this pattern is the choice it affords. The multi-sized pattern includes sizes preemie, newborn, infant, and large. |
