Blessing Gown Back
The slip and the back of the lace pinafore of the baby blessing/christening gown. I used cotton broadcloth for the slip though the pattern called for batiste. If the eyelets and lacing had been done in white as the pattern instructed then the white-on-white would have been beautiful shadow-work but I needed the stronger whiter white of the broadcloth to make the gown look white after I used the 'Baby Soft' YLI thread colour for the lace embroidery.
