Help! My daughter is being baptized next Sunday 11/30. She has a beautiful ivory lace dress (new but it looks vintage) with an ivory sash. The problem is the dress is sleeveless! I don't want to do a fake fur shrug and all the cardigans I've found have been cable knit (too casual) or white.
Has anyone seen anything that might work?!? She's 3 months and in between sizes so I'd need either 0-3 or 3-6.

@babybean404: have you looked at H&M? They had some things sort of like what you describe but i don't know if they had exactly that. Luckily this is a good time of year to look since it goes with the holiday dress stuff.

What about buying the white cardigan that is dressy & appropriate and then use ivory lace or floral appliques to customize it?

Janie and Jack has one, but it looks more white than ivory.
Because it's going to be hard to match tones, I'd probably go with a colored shrug, like pink?

What about something like this?

ETA: Sweet baby Jesus, christening clothes are expensive - let me keep looking for something not quite so pricy (unless you're planning to pass these down as heirlooms!)

This is a little more reasonably priced:

Thank you all!!! I looked online a lot on Friday (when I should've been working!) and found some contenders from your suggestions. Then this morning I drove 45 minutes to the "nice" mall near me and literally went into EVERY children's store and bought anything that might work.
The last place I went was Macy's and I found this shrug (link below in case anyone else is looking). When I was walking out of the store, the power went out to the entire mall! I took that as a sign and left. It matches perfectly! Phew! I am so relieved!
