DD1 has decided to be baptised on Easter Sunday (adult total immersion), and has asked me to make her robe/dress. I have never seen one done and am having difficulty finding an image of what is required. I have found a pattern on ebay for a long kaftan style dress, which I would like to adapt, and I hope to use an old heavy cotton sheet. Am I right in thinking it has to be absolutely plain? It will have to be well lined or she will wear something else underneath, as it will be transparent when wet.
If anyone knows the look I am need to aim for, could you please describe it to me. Thanking you in anticipation.
