Geneva – Infant Formal Dresses with Exquisite Detail and Fagoting
Our infant formal dresses are all finely made and Geneva has astonishing detail. French lace trims the Peter Pan collar, added by fagoting. This same design carries around to the back of the dress, as shown in images here. The bodice of this gown has floral embroidery across that follows the shape of the scalloped edging. Fluted French lace also trims bodice edging with embroidered cutwork. The lace frills over the many pleats that then branch out into the broad skirt.
The yoke and hem of this dress live up to the detail of the top. Two rows of scalloped lace inset intertwine with beautiful floral embroidery, the design looping around the top. French lace trims scalloped, or rounded, skirt hem edges.
There is pleating down the back also from the bodice seam. Two buttons close the dress at the top in the back. Lace trims Geneva’s matching bonnet and embroidery at the top around the edge. Bonnet gathers at the crown and ties. Slip included and trimmed with lace at the bottom, around the neck, and also the arm holes. Tiny embroidery embellishes slip at the front just above hem.
Delicate French lace also trims hem of cuffed doll sleeves.
Nothing spared from design of Geneva gown. Cotton blend, matching bonnet and slip included. Outfit ships in a plastic zippered garment bag with hanger.
Sizes: Newborn/3, 6/9, 9/12
More Info
Fagoting is embroidery where threads are crisscrossed over an open seam to join it together. It is a detail seen in many 1930’s fashion and another example can be seen here.
Then, add some cute booties or a white shawl blanket from our “Booties and More” tab. The Geneva gown already comes with a slip but you’ll still want to add a diaper cover. The best thing about this girls diaper cover, also pictured below in related items, is that it stretches well, so you can continue to use it for a whole year after with any dress-up occasion.
This dress is from a distinctive collection of infant formal dresses. Finely crafted, classic styled gowns made from high quality, exquisitely styled, and hand embroidered clothing out of New Jersey. Other vintage gowns from this collection are our Sariah, Felicity, and Kaci dresses.
