WOuld you be able to ask the owner if you can take a picture of it? So that I can see it a little better. Honestly you can say no. You are already kind enough to go check it out for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252779 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 08:51:10 +0000 regberadaisy 252779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: I'll go during my lunch to check for you! ;) It is soo pretty, I love the high ruffled collar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252778 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 08:50:22 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 252778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: i found it wasn't as hard to find something for my son. I didn't want a classic Christening outfit because he was 11 months old. So we ended up going with linen pants and shirt.</p> <p>@regberadaisy: oh that is pretty! do you know what size it is? And the price? </p> <p>@cvbee: Wow! So beautiful. I kinda wish we had a family heirloom. Now that I think of it, I think I want to buy something that can be passed down. I unfortunately lost my christenting dress in a move :( Ya, I think the dress I got will fit perfectly the tea party theme I will have set up. I definitely don't want to keep her in the christening dress all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252777 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 08:50:21 +0000 regberadaisy 252777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: I LOVE that gown!!

Some of the prices of gowns are insane! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252752 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 08:35:43 +0000 cvbee 252752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: PErhaps you could have her wear that dress for the party and a dress that the godmother gets for the baptism? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252750 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 08:32:35 +0000 cvbee 252750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Mine was a family heiloom too: used by 3 generations now. I was actually freaking out a little with the church's delays because I was afraid it wouldn't fit him anymore. I agree with the suggestion that you should at least do photos in it. </p> <p>Here is mine (sorry it is sideways): </p> [attach=1398/12/m8hpmb.600x450.P6120070.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252718 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 08:08:49 +0000 regberadaisy 252718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: ok, if you like vintage you might love the one from the thrift shop!

Why don't you take pictures of her in it? Even if it's fake. I'll least she will have worn it once? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252203 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:50:51 +0000 mediagirl 252203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: I am so sad. I'm not getting M baptised until she is 5 months old. At that point, she will be too big for our family christening outfit. It's been worn by every child and grandchild and great grandchild. :( I'll have to do the same thing you are - I hope to find an antiquey looking dress, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252184 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:35:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 252184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: Yeah, some of them were crazy! My godson's was one of the cheapest things on there :) My sister and BIL didn't want anythign fancy or girly and definitely no skirt. </p> <p>We will use the gown my husband and his brother were baptized in, which was a gift from his grandmother from Italy. Pretty easy, though his mom offered it to me about 2 years before we planned to TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252158 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:18:10 +0000 Mrsbells 252158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nearly went with this dress from amazon, but I ended up deciding on a pink shantung dress we received as a gift </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bonnie-Baby-Baby-Girls-Newborn-Shantung/dp/B007IQL3N2/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Bonnie-Baby-Baby-Girls-Newborn-Shantung/dp/B007IQL3N2/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp</a></p> <p>[attach=1326/12/m8gayb.516x600.91iYXyOIKTL__SL1500_.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252139 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:01:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 252139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: ya. i checked etsy. nothing i liked (so far) looking through that site is so discouraging! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252129 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 13:57:54 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 252129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: That's the first site I found and of course the one I like is something like 300$! not in my budget. ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252128 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 13:57:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 252128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: That is really pretty!

I've been trying to find a smock christening dress but no luck in finding one i like. </p> [attach=62/12/m8g9xi.450x600.325277_244918698876951_463779566_o.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-252124 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 13:54:43 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 252124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: Aw that is SOOOO sweet.

I'm sure I'll find something cute and full of fluffy bits to dress her in. Burlington Coat Factory has a ton of all white christening dresses right now, by the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-251986 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 12:27:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 251986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This may not help much, but here is my LO in her handmade gown that my mother, my sister and I all wore. </p> [attach=1506/12/m8g5ty.480x600.s41585ta119376_6_0.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-251977 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 12:20:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 251977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my godson's christening 'jumpsuit' from christeninggowns.com (so original, right? They came up as a gmail advertisement while emailing my sister about it). They had more simple or vintage-y looks, compared to the big fancy ones you see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christening-dresses-where-didwill-you-buy-it#post-251960 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 12:07:32 +0000 Honeybee 251960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got both kids' baptism gowns from Nordstrom: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/christening" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/christening</a>. They're pretty traditional, though we hope these gowns will become heirloom pieces in our family...</p> <p>For something less traditional, maybe you could just add a bonnet to the dress you already own? Most christening outfits come with bonnets, so it would give it a traditional element, but still not be the fancy/long gown. </p>
