Your baby girl is always beautiful, but you want her to look spectacular for her christening.

To make the right decision, take your time and look for the perfect style, fit, and comfort – it is a very special day after all. Here are some tips on what you should look for in a dress for a christening.
Style
Tradition never goes out of style – so a popular option for many christening dress is to go with a classic white gown, making your baby look just like an angel. However, there are new styles out there that you can take a look at. Making it your own is important, since this will be an event that creates a lifetime of memories. If you want something more modern, colourful, comfortable – that’s entirely up to you. Take a look at the different options shops that your area has to offer, and decide which style best suits your baby.
Detail
Flowers, lace, print, hearts and butterflies – all these make a christening dress. You can choose detail based on look and style or comfort. For example, the right type of buttons, zippers or ties will make it more comfortable to put the dress on. Meanwhile, lace and print will add that special something to the look. You can also add more detail by using accessories, such as headbands and booties. They are super cute and will make your photos look that much better.
Fit
Looking great is important, but don’t forget about how the dress will fit your baby. Babies come in all shapes and sizes, so you want to make sure you try the dress on before you buy it. Sometime it looks so perfect on display and when you try it on, you realize it is just not right. Maybe it’s too short, too tight, or too baggy. Fit is extremely important, because you want your baby to be comfortable, it is a long day for her after all.
Comfort
Don’t forget that it is a baby we are talking about at the end of the day. Fashion over function is probably not a great option. Your baby can’t tell you if she is uncomfortable or cold, so you are there to make sure that the dress you’ve chosen covers her every need. For example, if you know that the church you go to is cooler, add a blanket or a sweater to the dress. Or, if the style you like is too tight and the material is synthetic, that might not be the best option for your baby’s comfort. Meanwhile, for your own comfort, make sure you put a bib on the dress – it will save you many a headache.
Your baby is sure to look wonderful in one of the christening dresses you choose, and her special day will create everlasting memories for your family. Just don’t forget your camera – you won’t want to miss a moment!
