Baptism outfit from wedding gown

I love the idea of having my wedding gown made into a baptism outfit, however I don't know anyone who sews.  Does anyone know of a seamstress or tailor that they think would be capable of doing this?  I've tried looking online but I haven't found anyone local and don't really want to just send my gown away to Iowa. I am on the North Shore.  Thanks!

Re: Baptism outfit from wedding gown

  • There is a woman in Lexington center that makes wedding gowns. I went there for my wedding, but it was too pricey for me. I can't for life of me remember her name or the name of the shop. Maybe you can try to google it.

    She also makes prom dresses.

  • Hi,

    I do. my wedding seamstress turn my wedding gown into my son's baptism outfit. She even made little shoes. The dress was so big, the rest of the material will be used for the girl (in the distant future). I loved it! that's all i ever wanted to do with my wedding dress. She's in Boston. I'll give contact info if you're interested.

     

  • I thought I would send some pics of the dress before and then the boy's outfit that was made for me. Because my dress was girlish, the outfit could be viewed as little too much for a boy but it's a christening, I didn't midn it at all. It's a one time wear plus it need to be special. let me know what you think.
  • I love that idea!  I'd love to contact your seamstress and see if she could make a romper for my son.
