Dressing Baby Girls for Christening or Baptism

The tradition of handing down christening gowns through the family is making a comeback, and if you treasure this kind of family heirloom, you’ll want to select the very finest gown from such designers as Susanne Lively, Amacello, Sarah Louise, Frances Johnston, or Feltman Brothers.

The style you choose, can depend on the age of the child, with longer gowns being the preferred choice for infants. Frances Johnston offers an exquisite, 100% linen christening gown set with a high waisted dress, embroidered bodice, inverted box pleats on the skirt and pintucks around the hem, as well as buttons all the way down the back. Sarah Louise brings you the ultimate in delicacy, with a 65% poly-35% voile dress that is hand-smocked, has lace around the collar, and comes with a matching sash.

Christening dresses for the child a few months old, can be both delightful, and beautiful, suitable not only for church, but portrait sittings and other special occasions. Amacello present an adorable crushed velvet baby dress, with organza-capped sleeves. This style is fully lined and has a hidden zipper. Amacello shows an elegant simplicity in their pure white girl’s dress. The cool, unlined pure linen is perfect for summer christenings, and you can order a matching brother outfit, for the proud sibling.

The little touches can make your baby’s outfit complete, and also give relatives and friends a chance to add something to the special day. Available accessories include 100% cotton cardigans with organza trim, christening shoes in quilted satin or linen, silk bibs, and cotton knit receiving blankets with satin trim.

Make the love of your life, lovely in a christening gown that you will treasure for years to come.
