Victorian & Later Baby Christening & Shifts

Updated September 3, 2026

An assortment of twelve vintage and antique children's garments, primarily featuring white cotton textiles with intricate hand-worked details. The collection includes four blouses, notably a sheer dotted piece with a ruffled collar and short-sleeved examples with fine pintucks and embroidery. A cream-colored long-sleeved dress, constructed from a lustrous fabric such as silk or rayon. This dress is adorned with hand-embroidery and lace trim. Also present are three dresses and pinafores, including a cotton pinafore with blue floral embroidery, and four undergarments consisting of sleeveless slips and camisoles in white and pale green cotton. A single white cotton skirt with pintucks and a lace-trimmed hem completes the lot. This collection exhibits mostly expected wear consistent with its age and use. There is some light storage-related yellowing to the camisole and general wrinkling across the pieces. The delicate lace and seams show minor fraying as is typical for antique pieces.
