Fashion Friday: Christening Gowns

We’ve got beautiful new arrivals in our Christening Shop, so this week we’re featuring our favorite baptism and christening ensembles for your precious little one.

Tulle Skirt Christening Gowns by Sweet Kids

You’ll love looking back at the pictures from this special day with your girl dressed in one of these precious tulle-skirted gowns from Sweet Kids. The satin bodice along with the satin slip beneath the layer of tulle will keep her comfortable in the full skirt. The “Faith” christening gown on the left is topped with an overlay of fine, flowered lace with delicate sequins on the skirt and cap sleeves. A layer of thin tulle detailed with small polka dots is the overlay for the “Hope” christening gown on the right. Both of these christening gowns tie in the back with a large bow and come with adorable matching bonnets. Both of these gowns are available in 0-3 months, 3-6 months, and 6-9 months, so she’ll be beautiful no matter what age you choose to christen her.

Your baby girl will be glowing on her christening day in these long sleeve gowns from Katie Rose. The “Christy” lace overlay christening gown on the left features a soft cotton undergarment with beautiful embroidered flowers cascading down the overlay from the waist. The scalloped edges on the bottom and floral lace on the sleeves are the perfect touch of delicate detail, and a matching lace bonnet tops off this beautiful ensemble. This sweet gown is available in “Preemie” only.

The snow white bow and rosettes “Celia” christening gown on the right is every bit adorable as she is. You’ll rest easy knowing she’ll be comfy as can be in the long cotton undergarment and elastic hem with a subtle layer of tulle over top. The satin bow and rosettes with pearl centers add just the right amount of detail to this simple gown. A soft hat with a matching satin bow and rosette will keep her head warm and your hearts enamored. This adorable gown is available in newborn and 3 months.

 

Faith Jewelry

Religious jewelry and a baby’s first Bible are the perfect gifts to commemorate a christening or baptism. These trinkets will last long after her christening is over and can be kept to pass on to the next generation, just as the christening symbolizes passing on the faith. Babs Tilly has so many wonderful faith jewelry pieces, it’s hard to choose! We picked a few of our favorites including the 24K Gold Vermeil and CZ Cross Necklace as well as the cross earrings that come in both sterling silver and 24K gold vermeil for the baby with pierced ears. The sterling silver cross bracelet (bottom) and the pearl cross bracelet (top) are the perfect accessory for your baby to wear with one of our beautiful white christening gowns. For the baby from a Catholic family, there’s no better gift than Babs Tilly’s  “Baby’s First Rosary” that comes in pink and blue for both the little girls and little boys entering the faith. No matter what charming piece you’d like to give your little girl, our Babs Tilly Faith jewelry store has these options and many more.
