Offered
here from the dougfinds collection of curated fashion, accessories, clothing,
collectibles, and unique gifts is this beautiful
vintage heirloom slip and gown by Designs by Rendezvous, Inc. of New Orleans.
This is exactly the sort
of special occasion garment families tucked carefully away after one
unforgettable day—preserved for decades with hopes that it would someday be
worn again.
The gown showcases
exquisite white-on-white embroidery featuring delicate floral sprays, ribbon
motifs, Swiss-dot style detailing, puffed sleeves, and graceful gathered
construction throughout. The long traditional silhouette drapes beautifully
while the coordinating slip provides the proper fullness and opacity expected
of quality heirloom children's garments.
The open back closes with
elegant satin ribbon ties, allowing the gown to fit comfortably while
maintaining its timeless appearance.
Designs by Rendezvous,
Inc. specialized in classic heirloom children's clothing, and examples like
this have become increasingly difficult to find—especially with the original
matching slip still present.
Whether intended for a
baptism, christening, dedication ceremony, family portrait, flower girl attire,
or simply to begin a new family tradition, this gown possesses the timeless
elegance that transcends generations.
It is becoming
increasingly uncommon to find heirloom-quality garments constructed with this
level of craftsmanship. Reproducing a dress of this quality today—with
embroidered fabric, gathered construction, coordinating slip, and specialty
finishing—would likely cost several hundred dollars+!
This is a beautiful
opportunity to own a genuine vintage heirloom ready to create its next family
memory.
