Holly Ruffle Gown

Her first Christmas, and the gown to be photographed in.

Soft white knit with a picot-edged ruffle at the neck and cuffs in true Christmas red, and two sprigs of holly and berries hand-embroidered at the yoke. Small, precise work — the kind that reads as heirloom in a photograph and survives being handed to the next baby.

The gown is gathered at the hem with soft elastic, the traditional shape that makes night changes simple: no legs to find, no buttons to fasten in the dark. Buttons at the back neck. Our choice for a Christmas Eve arrival, first holiday portraits, and the gift you give a friend expecting in December.
