Christening Gown

Story behind the treasure: My Treasure Forever - a christening gown made for me by my grandmother. I dressed my dolls in it, then after my childhood the gown was put away for a long time; until I married and used it for the christenings of my son and daughter. By now I knew I would not part with the gown, so it was washed, starched and stored in blue tissue paper and has become a real treasure, also bringing back memories of my grandmother teaching me to sew.
