Just curious as to whether any of you have seen a dress lately that would work for a baptism? I feel like I've searched high and low with no luck. The problem is that I found the dress but before I could order it, the shop closed for Easter 
Wanting to stay below $75 but tops is $100 and need it in a size 9 month. I like ivory over white and love lace but no beading or sequins or flowers.
Any help would be appreciated!
Oh and I need it in 4 weeks

Are you looking for a boy or girl?
Try Feltman Brothers website, Macy's, and Nordstrom. They have nice simple options for boys and girls.
For my son's baptism, I bought a cute linen coverall (one piece short sleeved &shorts) outfit with a matching cap from Janie & Jack that was white piped in pale blue. I spent under $75.

Ivory/off-white. Has flowered patterned but more lace-like:

This one is white but lace and lovely:

@Alba4: Ooops, sorry! It's for my little girl. I forgot to look at J&J! Thanks 
@yoursilverlining: I love the lace Ruby and Bloom but just wondering about the length I'm going to measure her tonight and see where it'd hit.

This isnt a baptism dress, but its what we used, was really inexpensive $33 plus tax), and worked out well for the hour she was in it. Check out the actual photos in the review section, they have better detail than the stock photo.

I used a Sara Louise embroidered christening dress for our 1st. Our 2nd dgt will wear the same smocked dress in a couple of weeks for her christening. I bought it at a local specialty shop.

My son wore an outfit from Feltman Brothers. I loved it, and their dresses are so beautiful! Did you want an official baptism/christening gown? Or just a formalish dress?
I love this one:

Although it's white, not ivory. They have a lot of different styles! Their longer christening gowns are more expensive, though.

Yes, afraid so. I have looked at etsy too much! Thank y'all for the recommendations 
Over the weekend I think we finally decided on one. It's an ivory pleated chiffon dress. We didn't want to go with a gown since she's sitting on her own and very squirmy! I feel like we'd be wrestling with the gown during church.

@pinkarmadillo: I'm glad youfound something!
I don't envy moms who have to buy one.
Every baby in my family since 1956 has worn the same gown. So our choice is easy.

@Mrs. D: I envy you in that regard! I had my baptism dress from when I was little but my girl is a little too big to make it work, haha!
