Day 70 #100DaysOfOldDays

Another family heirloom for our 100 day project. This is the christening gown that Lucy got baptised in nearly eleven years ago. It’s about 110 years old. Her late grandfather Eymard McBreen, was baptised in this over 90 years ago and many of the McBreen family members since then.

It’s a beautiful cream colour and made from handwoven silk. Eymard’s aunt Susan sent it from America. I think it’s beautiful, and timeless!

Lucy says she feels honoured and special to have worn the same gown as her grandfather!
