About Fabric
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, just look under any listing’s description. It will be in the star bulletin named “Fabric”. You can also get a detailed description of each fabric by going to our fabrics description page. The fabric will be listed in columns, along with a short description of the textile.
In addition to the information found on each page, we proudly offer an unparalleled return policy with no re-stocking fees!
Featured Product: Tess Silk Baptism Gown
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 Tess baptism gown is available in seven sizes, from newborn to 24 months, and is hand-made in our facility. Check it out today!
Camilla Silk Christening Gown
Look at those eyes…I get lost in them every time I do! Our sweet little model, Harper, is shown here wearing Mariana, the newest addition to the One Small Child christening gown collection.
I adore so many things about this lovely gown. Lustrous silk dupioni cut in a simple style speaks of elegance and luxury without pretension. The gentle curve of the waistband is echoed on the brim of the bonnet and a vintage-inspired glossy lace is nestled at the waist for a truly unique finishing touch. The silk ribbon ties on the bonnet are soft as rose petals. The hem is finished with dual Venise lace on each side of a 100% pure silk ribbon, giving it just the right amount of detail.
We pictured this gown with our exclusive heirloom bouffant christening slip, and it gives a nice full look to the ensemble.
We cut and sew the Mariana gown when we receive your order…it always ships within one week. Order yours today!
What Color is Your Christening Gown?
Have you ever considered going pink for her christening gown?
Every congregation has different requirements…some prefer all-white attire for christening, but one of the trends of the past few years has been incorporating color into christening gowns and christening outfits.
I must admit here that I like to do traditional with a little twist. My first baby girl was blessed in a gown very similar to our Jessa christening gown, of white silk dupioni with dainty pink rose braid trim. I went just a bit bolder with my second daughter’s gown: a rose-pink silk ruffled slip with a pretty over-coat of delicately embroidered french netting in a soft ivory color. And it was just beautiful.
If you’re looking for something unusual, One Small Child offers several ways to introduce color in christening wear, from a tiny kiss of pink to entire gowns of mellow ivory or stunning pink. The boys are not forgotten, we also offer a traditionally cut romper in cool blue.
So, are you up for a little color?
Crosses for Christening and Communion
For members of christian faiths that reverence the sign of the cross, the selection of a First Communion dress, christening gown, christening outfit or christening accessory adorned with the cross can be a meaningful expression of devotion. We at One Small Child are pleased to offer many options for including this symbology in your special event:
-Several of our christening gown and Communion dress styles feature crosses embroidered on skirts, woven into lace trims, or hand beaded all over.
-Cross embroidery options are available on our simple cotton slip, bodysuits, bibs, blankets, and baptism towels.
-Socks embellished with embroidered crosses are available in styles for infant boys and girls, as well as older girls.
-Miniature bibles displaying crosses in gold tone or white lace are available in both Catholic and Protestant editions for your convenience.
Jessa Christening Gown
Well, it’s a new year, and one of our goals for 2008 is to cut down on the time it takes to cut, sew, and ship our non-stock items. Thanks to the efforts of our fabulous sewing team over the past few weeks, we are pleased today to announce that our exclusive Jessa christening gown is now an in-stock item!
Since we’re talking about the Jessa gown, I have to admit that it’s one of my favorites–it’s very closely based on the one-of-a-kind gown I created for my first baby, and it makes my heart smile every time I see one of these gowns in our production line or being inspected and prepped for shipping. I like to imagine all the pretty babies who get to wear this special christening gown, and the ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ of all their loved ones. Sigh. I just love what we do!
Our Sophi Christening Gown is Back!
After being unavailable for nearly a year (we hate it when we run out of fabric and can’t find more!), our Sophi christening gown is once again available exclusively at One Small Child. Constructed of fine silk dupioni and accented with a dainty floral lace embroidery, the style features a classic portrait collar and a simple, elegant silhouette…as timeless now as it will be for the next generation.
