There was a stillborn baby girl that a friend of my youngest daughter. Deb (my daughter) asked me to make a burial dress and bonnet, and she co-ordinated it with the baby's mom. The baby's name Melody Faith Monroe.. the reason for the Monogram.
This is made from white bleached muslin and I dyed it to the color of pink I was trying to find. Very hard to find light pink soft plain fabric (I went to Hancock's, Hobby Lobby, and Walmart). I had one day to make this. Fortunately I had already taken off Friday.
The funeral was SAturday.
The family decided not to bury her in the dress/bonnet, but to have it out as a representation of her at the funeral, then put it into a shadow box. They hung it on an easel next to the casket and put the bonnet on the top of the easel. Deb told me that she had 4 or 5 family members come up to her and tell her thank you and how much it meant to them.
Here's the outfit.
