Gorgeous vintage Maderia 2 piece Christening Gown made of the finest cotton batiste. The 27 inch over dress has a scalloped neckline, pintucks on the front running from the shoulder seams, and traditional Maderia floral embroidery down the front. The short puff sleeves also have a scalloped edged band as does the bottom hem. The back closes with 2 small buttons. <p>The matching slip is has matching embroidery and open work with a scalloped neckline, arm holes, and lower edge. The slip closes with a small button at each shoulder. The slip has a label which reads Hand Made in Maderia Portugal 1/2. So the set is a size 1/2. The gown is again 27 inches long and 23 inches (11.5 in flat) in the chest as measured just under the arms. The slip is 25 inches long and 22 inches (11 inches flat) in the chest. There are no holes or tears. There is a small yellow discoloration on the neck of the gown but it is very light. It would probably bleach out with some lemon juice and sunlight but there is no sunlight in upstate NY right now. This beautiful set is also from the large estate collection of linens I recently acquired.
