Mine was purchased and worn in '78. But it is the same sleeveless slip dress w/ a jacket overlay, and it had a bonnet. Sienna is going to look so pretty on her special day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-257245 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 15:17:56 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 257245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pipers Mommy: oooo do you have pictures?! I'm dying to get a little more history about dress </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-257180 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:45:09 +0000 regberadaisy 257180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pipers Mommy: both. There's a solid sleeveless"satin" slip, then a sheer dress then another sheer "overcoat" (that's the layer that has the delicate flower details) over that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-257058 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:53:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 257058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>beautiful!!! I love the flower and delicateness of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-257045 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:46:15 +0000 Pipers Mommy 257045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So pretty! I actually think this is really close to the gown I wore. Is it a slip dress with a 'jacket' layover? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-257028 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:37:28 +0000 cvbee 257028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: ha, maybe I've got it backwards!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-257026 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:35:38 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 257026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: I`ve heard the opposite. Making a hankercheif a bonnet but not the other way around. hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-257019 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:31:51 +0000 cvbee 257019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: ooooh! yay! Bonnets are soooo sweet! You will have to post a pic of Sienna in her special dress after the big day! (And turning a bonnet into a hankercheif for Sienna's wedding for something old is an idea I heard of once, by the way). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-257016 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:28:37 +0000 Mrsbells 257016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>such a sweet dress </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-257010 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:24:43 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 257010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: I`m so excited, I actually purchased a vintage ruffle bonnet too... hopefully it will match.

I'm looking online. Someone told me they had the exact dress. I'm waiting to see a picture to compare. It was from the 50s </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-255576 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 09:48:34 +0000 regberadaisy 255576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: I did ask and she didn't know. She was sweet, she said I can make something up but honestly, I really don't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-255552 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 08:45:15 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 255552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I'm so excited that she will be able to keep it as a family heirloom from now. I wish I had my dress for her to wear. Did the seller mention around which year? I'm thinking it's late 1950s </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-found-the-perfect-dress-for-sienna-christening#post-255543 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 08:33:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 255543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You ladies are too cute!

I've been wanting a vintage dress but we don't have great thrift stores around. She messaged me telling me she had the perfect dress for me. </p> <p>Can you believe she took pictures of the dress, went back to take close ups, bargained, got the dress for me and is shipping it. I am beyond excited and I love the HB community. &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3<br /> thank you a million times over. </p> <p>Here is a preview of the dress (it's two piece with an overlay) I don't know how old it is though.</p> <p>[attach=62/12/m8kkbq.600x600.viewer.jpeg] </p>
