Where to get a baptism outfit?

Hello!  I'm wondering if anyone could share their experience looking for a baptism outfit in the area.  I don't want to order it online because I'd like to see it in person because J is a huge kiddo, so I'd like to be sure that it fits.  Thanks very much!

Re: Where to get a baptism outfit?

  • I think a lot of dept stores like Sears or JC Penny carry them....I'd just call to confim first or check in when you're at the mall

  • I've seen them at the Bon-Ton here in State College (I'm not sure how many Bon-Tons are around, though).  Baby boutiques often have them as well.
  • I saw some at Burlington Coat Factory. (Along w/ some super SWEET White tuxes. I wish my sister was having a real wedding and not going to the justice of the peace because I would LOVE LO to wear a white tux w/ tails! ) haha

  • Good luck.  I've tried just about everywhere locally, and I'm just not a fan of the little white gowns or amish looking suits for boys.  But there is a place in the Hershey Outlets that specializes in baptism/christening outfits.  It's a few doors down from Carters.

    For now we've got a button-down shirt, argyle vest and cords for DS.  I like the "little man" look much better, but it's been really hard finding nice stuff small enough for 0-3 months.

    LOL at "amish looking suits".  WHERE did you get an argyle vest?  It sounds adorable!!!  I love the "little man" look too (hence the siggy pic).  Our church said that he can wear anything at all to the baptism, so I would LOVE to go with something non-traditional.

     

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

  • I got DS from Boscov's. I didn't want to get a suit for him, they had a white kind of sleeper looking outfit. Babies R Us also has them. So does JCP. I am not sure where in central PA you live...if you live near Harrisburg I can tell you a couple of other stores. I just ordered DDs online and it was just what I wanted I was very happy. I know you said you did not want to order it online but here is the web address if you want to check it out... www.affordablechristianproducts.com

  • I got the whole outfit at BRU.  It's Koala Baby.  Expensive, but I had three 15 percent off coupons and a couple of BRU rewards certificates, so I ended up only spending about $25 on the shirt, cords, vest and an adorable pair of shoes.  If I remember tomorrow morning, I'll take a pic of the outfit and post it.

    Thank you so much for this link!! I've been on the hunt, too, and the smocked outfits were exactly what I've been trying to find and their prices are so reasonable!

  • If you decide to hunt for something more traditional, Strasburg Children (probably in the Hershey Outlets, there's one in Lancaster, too) has some nice options. It's expensive, though, just as a warning! I love thier outfits, but I have such a hard time justifying the cost!
