Smocking lovers, I need some help!

Can I have website recommendations please? I want a silk, smocked Christening dress for DD. I would typically go to Strasburg Children for it, but they closed the two stores that I am near and only have one down by Philly. I called the store and they no longer carry the dress I want, they stated they are redoing all the stores and gave me the number to call Destin (FL) as they may have some white smocked dresses left, well without being able to see it I really don't want to spend the money on it since it is non-returnable. So I need new recommendations please.
Here is my son's and I would like a similar fabric, I'll even take no smocking if I can at least have similar fabric. Price is not an object for an heirloom.

Thanks!
Sorry no paragraphs, bumping from my phone.

Re: Smocking lovers, I need some help!
The fabric looks like taffeta or dupioni silk. I ordered some accessories this morning from everythingnicechristening.com ...they have a few silk gowns. Some say they have smocking, but when I look at the pictures it's actually embroidery or in the case of one style pin tucking on the bodice. But there is one for sure on the page that has smocking and is a similar fabrication to your son's christening outfit:

I've never ordered from it, but I love the stuff on this website
