AimeeM Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 What are your favorite sites for boys' (newborn/infant boys) christening outfits? White ones. I'm trying to wade through them all - but there are so many!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Ds wore the same dress as his sister when he was 6 months old. It was dh's. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindergretta Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I never bought a boy's Christening outfit from them, but I did buy 2 Christening gowns from them, one for each of my two youngest dds. http://www.onesmallchild.com/categories/Christening/Boys-Christening-Outfits/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Mine wore my baptismal gown for their baptisms. The boys ones didn't really look any different than the girls ones so it worked out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimeeM Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 I don't have mine or my husband's and I'd like each of the children to have their own (which is why I need a new one). DS3's suit was purchased at Babies R Us and is less than memorable. I want something nice this time 'round :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Ds was christened at 4 mos. I had my own christening gown (still do - it sits in a box on top of the box that contains my wedding gown in a closet :D), but opted not to use it. I had something made for him. It was a white linen blouse with a large smocked collar (I did the smocking for the color) and a pair of white, damask, button-on shorts. I just found a lady who sewed really well and she figured out a way to do the blouse so I could smock the collar for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I don't believe it would have occurred to me to have an infant boy in a suit for his baptism/christening. In our tradition it infants wear the unisex gown. My mom made the one dd (and any others would have) wore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 My DH's family has a tradition where the oldest child in each family gets to wear the heirloom christening gown. So that's what DD wore (as did DH, FIL, and FIL's uncle). When I was pregnant with DS, MIL was in an antique store and saw a beautiful antique christening gown. She decided to get it for all the other babies in her line. So DS and younger DD wore that, as did SIL's female twin. The boy wore a suit but that was purchased by the MIL of my SIL.
