Choosing Christening Outfits

Since christening outfits are often a treasured keepsake, make your decision carefully. You want quality outfits that will last for generations. Consider the following information as you select the best christening outfit for your child:

Although white christening outfits are not required in all religions, most parents and godparents choose white because in our culture, it symbolizes innocence and holiness. 

Before you start shopping for outfits, decide whether you want your baby to be fabulously formal or cute and casual (or somewhere in between). Formal christening outfits are made of the finer fabrics: silk, satin, organza, and 100% cotton.

While our more casual christening outfits are no less elegant than the formal ones, they appeal to customers who love simplicity. If you fall into this category, you will appreciate the crisp lines and clean fit of our christening designs.

You will want to account for your region’s climate as you decide on a christening outfit. For hot, sunny climates, choose light fabrics (e.g., silk, cotton), short sleeves/legs, and a bonnet or hat. In cooler climates, a christening blanket, bonnet, and shoes are must-haves. When selecting a christening outfit, remember to take the season and into account..  Satin is a wonderful fabric for christening outfits in cooler weather. During the summer, cotton christening outfits may be a better choice.

Sizing charts are conveniently available to help you choose the size that will fit your baby best. All you need are your baby’s chest and shoulder to crotch measurements to choose the right size. If after getting the measurements you are still unsure, order a few christening outfits and then return the ones that don’t fit.

On his christening day, you will want your baby to be both handsome and comfortable. At One Small Child, we shop all over the world to find the richest, softest fabrics for your child. And most of our outfits are hand washable!
