This beautiful Jasmine white satin gown with long sleeves, had a removable cathedral length train. The gown also had 32 satin covered buttons with loop closures along the back. Someone certainly helped this bride get dressed!
It was wonderful to make tiny dresses using the exquisite chantilly lace along the bottom of the dress and train, as the bottom of the little bereavement dresses as well. The elegant pearl beaded and sequined lace appliques on the train, were too large to incorporate into the small garments as they were; but each one made two or more amazing bodices for the little gowns! The satin covered buttons were put to excellent use on vests for the little boy gowns.
This gown was transformed into ten complete tiny bereavement gowns (male and female); five size small (1-3 pounds), and five size medium (3-6 pounds). There were enough buttons for five mini vests. This gown has become part of fifteen petite bereavement gowns. Remnants of the fabric were used to create fifteen little matching heart token necklaces for the grieving mothers.
Thank you to the amazing bride who lovingly donated her gorgeous gown, and wished to remain anonymous!
Thank you to the generous brides who have lovingly donated their wedding gowns for this project. These tiny bereavement gowns are created with love for those who have lost their precious little ones too soon. My main focus is on gowns for premature infants 1-6 pounds, they are given free of charge to grieving parents. Thank you to Bonnie at Carewear Volunteers for all of your invaluable assistance getting this project started!
