Hand-Embroidered Baby Dress – 1930s Heirloom Rosebud Trim

A rare heirloom of early baby wear — this 1930s hand-embroidered baby dress is entirely hand-finished, from its French seams to its dainty scalloped lace edges. Made from creamy soft rayon-satin, it’s embroidered with tiny pink rosebuds along the hem, sleeves, and yoke. Every stitch speaks of patience and care.

The dress drapes beautifully, with a lightly gathered skirt and charming handmade lace trim. A timeless piece for vintage nursery displays, photography styling, or family keepsake collections.

Deb’s Note 🪡

“This is the kind of sewing that tells a story — every stitch deliberate, every rosebud placed with care. You can almost feel the hum of the old sewing room and the quiet pride that went into finishing it by hand.”
