Non - ugly baptism outfits?

karinothing · February 2012

Why are all baptism outfits made of craptastic fabric. I don't want my kid to look like a shiny bleached pilgrim. Any ideas on where to find something that doesn't look horrible?

LOL, they don't exist!!

we just put DD in a cute dress and sweater with tights and little shoes for her baptism, i have no idea what i am going to put on DS or when his is even going to be for that matter....i guess i should get on that.

Maybe I will just do something like this https://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Baby-Cotton-Cable-Jumpsuit/dp/B00266QLR2

Check out Etsy or a Christian bookstore. Our kids are wearing mine and my brothers gowns.

We just got an all white outfit from macys. it was a white button down shirt white pants and a white sweater vest. $25 on sale.

I agree those shiny pieces of crap are ugly and not worth the $70.

I do like the gowns but i felt weird about putting my boy in one.

We got DD a dress from Dillards and you are so right about the fabric. It's practically see-through.

wishful thinkin:
I don't know if this is considered a shiny bleached pilgrim but this is a pic of DS in his christening outfit

and then after cocktail hour we changed him into this

We purchased it from a store in the mall but there is a web site as well

Aww, he is adorable! But I just don't like the shiny fabric. I love the hat though and the second outfit! Thanks

::Lurking, but...::

Baby Depot (Burlington Coat Factory) has white onesies with an embroidered cross on them. I think I'm going to get him that and a little suit to go over it. I'm not a big fan of the shiny fabrics either.

Otherwise, I'm finding a pattern and having my MIL sew him an outfit so I can pick the fabric lol.

LOL I was thinking the same thing after looking through our pictures. I wish we'd have done an egg color or off white instead. But, they still came out pretty. This is her AFTER the ceremony. She cried the entire ceremony, but started playing once she realized I was taking her outfit off.
