Attiring the Little Prince

Joe and I are planning on having a Blessing Ceremony for the Who at some point after he's born. No dates yet, but we're thinking late winter or early spring before he reaches 6 months. One of the sewing projects that I have been laboring over (pun intended) has been an outfit for the Who to wear at this very special occasion.

The pictures below are my take on what is more commonly known as a "christening gown." Both boys and girls are typically baptized or dedicated in one, and I'm hoping that this one will become a family heirloom for future generations to come.
