In Christianity, there is a certain period after the birth that new born are initiated into the Catholic faith. This is a very important function so a lot of preparation goes into it. Besides the baby will be the centre of all attraction so we need everything that a baby may need for the function. Mothers now begin the joyful exercise of searching for gorgeous christening dress, days before the function and in fact the process of selection begins even in the later stages of pregnancy itself. Unlike choosing dresses for other occasions, the task is simpler since there is no choice of color which has to be pristine white. Light tones of pink, peach and blue are also permissible. There can also be fairytale dresses in a theme family idea. You simply have to ask for christening dresses and you will be shown a wide array of dresses just right for the occasion. It will be up to you to decide the right dress for your baby.

While looking out for the dress it has to be borne in mind that the comfort of the baby has to be given preference and therefore the material has to be soft and soothing and something in which the baby will be totally comfortable. Mind you the baby has to stay in the dress all through the function. Feeling the fabric is very important since it has to be supple and not cause any irritation to the infant’s skin. The christening dresses are normally made out of satin, silk and cotton with insides usually lined with cotton or silk spread over or the entire dress both inside and out is made of satin. When this is matched with cute white satin booties and a comfortably flexible cotton ring on the forehead the baby becomes the cynosure of all eyes. With the baby so small and the mother slowly recovering it is not entirely possible for the mother to go out shopping for each and every thing. So the best way to organize the preparation would be to either get them all online where you can find an amazing collection or just get the main item from a physical shop and order everything else online.

Gowns for baby boys come with different types of collars and buttons or hidden Velcro straps which are comfortable and facilitate changing of clothes. Bishop dress patterns are also in vogue with the robes having short puffed sleeves. Baby girls could have a simple tiara or a star studded diamante hair band which makes her an absolute angel.

Since the ritual of christening involves sprinkling of water or bathing the child it has to be ensured that the baby is kept warm and christening dresses can also be of wool with fur trims since the church interiors can be cold and hence the infant needs adequate protection. Once you have taken care of all these needs of the baby you may think of all the others who would need to look just as elegant for the function including yourself.
