"Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Divine Power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."
Silk Christening Gown
This pleated Anagrassia baptismal gown is inspired by "Joan of Arc" and the Saint Michael prayer. (The horizontal bodice pleating resembles Renaissance & medieval body armor.) The dress is made of diamond white (ivory) 100% duchess silk, rose lace trimming from Switzerland, satin ribbon, and silk charmeuse lining. The heirloom dress is custom made and made-to-order. If you wish to order the gown in white or make the sleeves fuller/bigger, please contact Mary Grace immediately after placing your order.
The gown is made with a back invisible zipper, hook & eye enclosure, and non-functional satin buttons.
You can order a matching silk bonnet for an additional $45. Contact Mary Grace if you wish to include the bonnet in your order.
Dresses are made for infants, babies, and toddlers.
Please send the baby's chest and waist/tummy measurements, if you are unsure what size to order.
