The gown is an open robe, pleated at the back and at the sides. The neck is square and there is a small opening at the centre back. The sleeves, which are straight and have frilled lace cuffs, are attached. The front neck and opening and the hem are trimmed with a matching silk fringed braid from which hang tassels of the same with silk fly trimming, which is arranged in shallow undulations. The robe is lined with white silk.

(B) is a narrower matching ribbon to (A). To each end is stitched a scalloped satin bell shape, braid trimmed.Christening robe, England, 1730-1770.
