| The full length Christening Gown dates back to the Victorian Era and is still the tradition for most baptisms and christenings. The progression to the short beautifully embroidered and laced dress know as shortcoating has become more common in today's ceremonies and Baby Gift Clouds offers a full selection of these christening and baptism dresses. Because these dresses are short, accessories such as christening shoes and socks are often worn along with ruffled panties to cover the baby's diaper. Please visit our accessories collection for a complete selection. Our collection of Christening dresses and gowns features fabrics of soft cotton batiste, soft silk shantung, beautiful organza and soft bridal quality matte satin. Our dresses and gowns are trimmed with pintucking, lace, whitework, embroidery, other handwork and usually have matching bonnets. Buy a quality dress or gown that will be cherished from generation to generation and will become a family heirloom. |
