This darling boy (in our Tyler christening outfit) was christened June 27th in Bucharest, Romania. Many thanks to his mama, Michaela, who said:
“…the ceremony and the party were great, my little one looked like an angel, everyone admired and praised him.”

Shopping for christening gowns and baptism outfits online has its advantages (convenience of 24/7 shopping, large selection of styles and and sizes) and disadvantages, one of the biggest being that you can’t actually *feel* your selections before ordering them. We get that!
To offset that challenge, we’ve provided detailed descriptions of the fabrics we use in each garment. To find this information, click on the ‘Details…’ link found on the order page for each specific style. The fabric will be listed in the bullet points in bold font. Click the fabric name to see a drop-down description of that fabric. You can also find a compiled list of the textiles we use here.
In addition to the information found on each page, we proudly offer an unparalleled return policy with no re-stocking fees (in fact, we encourage you to order up to three outfits to make the style and size selection process easier!).

I spent an afternoon helping my mother and sisters clean out my parents’ basement last week, it’s always an adventure to sift through stacks of memorabilia…they bring so many reminders and smiles. When everyone was busy elsewhere, I took a moment to crack open some of my mother’s old journals. (shhh, don’t tell anyone I was slacking!) It was fun to read some of her thoughts and daily activities as a new wife, and later, as a mother running her own business. She’s an amazing woman, I’m so glad she took a few moments out of her day to record what was happening in her life.
Anyway, back to the purpose of this post, in the process of cleaning out, Mom found this photo and brought it to me, saying, “I didn’t know I had this picture! This is Allie Wade!” (Allie is in the center, surrounded by her four daughters, one of whom was my grandmother.) It was a treat for me to see…I never knew her, but in this photo, Allie looks just like I remember my grandma. I wonder how much they were alike.
I may not have known her, but Allie Wade has had a significant impact on my life, through my grandmother and my mother. Though she never knew it, she has been a part of special occasions for thousands of children all over the world–every garment we make leaves our facility bearing her name, and along with that name, a hope that her legacy of love will extend to all.

This little day-gown (meaning it is long enough to cover baby’s feet, but not as dramatically long as heirloom-length gowns) has always been one of my favorites. It’s simple, made from ultra-luxurious Indian silk dupioni, with enough sweet touches of pink to make it truly unique. The Candice baptism gown is available in seven sizes, from newborn to 24 months, and is hand-made in our facility. Check it out today!
