Brand new: classic “Jon-Jon” styled shantung suit is comfortable, cool, and ALL BOY!

It looks like a traditional gown…and it is! But there’s more: after the ceremony, the clever jumper easily removes to reveal a darling (and comfy) romper beneath!
Convertible gowns are popular for the appealing practicality they provide. We take the concept a step further: you design your own look by choosing one of our silk rompers (pictured below), add our convert-a-gown jumper, sold separately, and you have an instant formal christening gown!

Our new Anthony silk christening suit is to. die. for. gorgeous! Made of sumptuous 100% silk dupioni, the short-sleeved romper is dressed up with hand-sewn pintucks and silk-covered buttons. The long-sleeved jacket attaches to the romper at the waist and features a cut-away front hem that dips down to a long formal back (you can view our beautiful detail photos here). A jaunty visor-beret hat finishes off the look, reminding me of a child in a Victorian painting, all soft and dreamy and fancy, but still clean-lined and boyish.

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, along with a short description of the textile. You can also find a compiled list of the fabrics 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!).

Little white tuxedos have long been a favorite for christenings, baptisms and blessings. They’re dressy, they’re masculine, and there’s just something about a tiny version of menswear that makes people stop and say, “Awwwww.”
I’ll be honest. Tuxedos for babies are not always easy to design, sew, or wear. They’re fairly complex in construction, and most suits for babies are designed exactly like their bigger counterparts, with a shirt, a vest or cummerbund, pants, and tie. The problem is: that’s a lot of stuff to fuss with on a squirmy little guy (especially a newborn). A shirt hanging out the back of my baby’s pants just isn’t quite the look I’m going for in a formal setting. Know what I mean?
Over the years, we’ve worked hard to produce our own version of the christening tuxedo…it’s taken a lot of making and tweaking and changing and updating, but I think we’ve finally got it! Our Ryker christening tuxedo is constructed of gorgeous polyester shantung…crisp and pristine white with a subtle silk-like texture. It’s trimmed with soft, lustrous matte satin. It’s intended to fit little babies (most imports are sized so big that the smallest suits fit in the 9-12 months size range, but our tuxedo is available in sizes newborn through 12 months.)–so we left out the vest and cummerbund. The best part: the shirt is constructed as a bodysuit, so no shirt-tails sneak out the back of the pants. Ever. It’s made here in the U.S.A., and it’s one-of-a-kind. Our tuxedo comes with a traditional bonnet, which can be substituted with a trendy beret at your request. Bottom line: It’s a suit sure to please all of baby’s loved ones.

I’m not sure what’s going on with the color on this picture, but I wanted to load it up anyway–this is our new boys’ smocked christening outfit, and I’m so tickled to have it on the site, ready to ship. It’s been a pet project of mine for a while now, and one of my favorite things about this job is seeing an idea blossom and transform into something that will become a treasured heirloom.
With short sleeves and long legs, this romper is a great fit for year-round christenings–a nice, soft mid-weight cotton with classic details (just add a sweater if the weather’s cool). The smocking is just gorgeous, but done in a way that keeps the overall look masculine. And here’s a bonus: if you happen to have twins, or want your new little boy’s outfit to look similar to the gown his big sister wore (or vice-versa), Gilbert looks stunning next to our Abigail smocked christening gown.
