Available in sizes 00 to 3T and is popular both summer and winter.
With a traditional Christening gown look this gown has additional touches that make it stand out a bit from others.
I like the the look of the edging and it makes it more fanciful but does not take away any of the focus from your child's beautiful face.

Many families like to take plenty of photos of their child on their Christening day but don't always think about taking a photo of the outfit that the child wore. This is fine is you are going to keep the outfit, shawl or accessories as a memento. However if you are planning on passing down the outfit or giving it away to a friend, remember to take photos of the outfit also showing its details.

Styles change and it is nice to look back and see what style was popular from years gone by. Especially once your child is beginning to look at outfits for their children.

Preservation bag is available for either girls or boys and includes a padded hanger.

Preservation bag is 18"W x 26"L and is constructed from unbleached muslin and is a wonderful Christening gift that will be remembered from years to come. Unbleached muslin doesn't have any added chemicals which can damage many materials and is a good choice for preserving.

When you do plan to preserve your child's out and accessories just be sure to have them properly cleaned and are 100% sure that they are dry. As preservation techniques change over the years and they find new ways (or find old ones ) that work best, read up on preservation about 30 days before the Christening. This will give you more than enough time to see all of your alternatives.

Some dry cleaning companies offer preservation cleaning. If they do ask which chemicals they may be using so that you can look them and check them out. Preservation garments are often packed away with other mementos and photographs and some times the chemical can react with your other items and cause them to have issues.
