We have written this guide to provide you with enough information to choose the best christening outfit to ensure that the special day is perfect.

A christening outfit represents a keepsake signifying an important occasion for your child.  You will need to find that christening outfit that perfectly suits you, your baby, your situation and that also fits your budget.

Please consider the following points to help you along your way to finding that special christening outfit:

Traditional or Modern
The style of an outfit is a very important choice. Sometimes it is simply down to a matter of taste. Traditionally, a baby girl will wear a long gown with a bonnet, a baby boy a satin or cotton romper christening outfit. For something a little more modern, a baby girl will look the picture in a short dress with either none or short sleeves and for a baby boy, perhaps a little 4 piece suit, which is becoming more increasingly popular by the day.

Colour
Traditionally, white is the most popular choice for a christening gown as this symbolizes purity and youth, but that does not mean you are restricted to this one colour. Ivory is becoming a popular colour for christening gowns and suits and for an even more modern approach to colours, pinks and blues are being used for this special day.

Size / Fit
Your baby needs to be as comfortable as possible if you are to keep their christening outfit on them for the remainder of the day. You need to make sure that your baby has enough room to move around in without any restriction, so we always recommend you check all measurements in descriptions and sizing guide.

Accessories
There are so many accessories to choose to add that finishing touch to your baby's christening outfit. The main rule is if the gown / suit is fancy, go for plain accessories and if the gown / suit is plain, go for fancy accessories - this is a matter of preference though. The minimum accessories you will need for a christening is: shoes, socks / tights, bonnet and a bib to protect the gown. You may also need a cardigan / shawl for a winter christening due to the weather.

We believe that every baby is special and we have something
special for every baby to complete their christening outfit.
