The Wauchope mum was really upset to realise that she put a christening dress in an op shop bag by accident when she had a cupboard clean-out over the last 12 months.
“This is going to be a long shot but maybe just maybe someone will recognize this christening dress that I am trying to get back,” said Shauna.
“This dress has been worn by many members of my family, was handed down to me and I hoped to hand down to my daughter; however I can not find it.”
Shauna generally donates items to Vinnies in Wauchope.
“Please if anyone happens to have purchased this dress or seen a baby in it please let me know. I would be so very thankful to receive it back,” said Shauna.
It is a off white silk dress with lace around the bottom and across the chest and around the arms. It has a knitted full length over coat over it and in the bag their would have been satin hotties and a bonnet.
It would be about a size 000 and Shauna is pretty sure no labels on it.
“Please if you know anything please let me know. Many many thanks,” said Shauna, whose email is gopropertyservices@bigpond.com
