Nayda sent some adorable pictures of her daughter along with her comment:
“I just wanted to say what a beautiful gown One Small Child made. I ordered the Alyssa for my daughters baptism and it was beautiful, just gorgeous. The quality was amazing and the shipping was great. This is a great site and I would recommend.”
May your life be blessed
with joy and love,
May angels guide you
from above.
May your heart be kind,
your spirit strong,
To see the good
and right some wrong.
May the world be
a better place
Because you came
and shared some space.
Oh, this is such a lovely, peaceful portrait! Sweet Milley’s mother, Amanda, writes:
“I am so glad that I found your website! We looked everywhere for the perfect gown and were running out of places and ideas. That is when I found your site. We ordered the gown during the New Year holiday and the delivery was still fast and free. I called and placed the order over the phone and the lady I spoke with was very nice and helpful. We ordered the Kathleen Shamrock Gown. (Absolutely Beautiful)
I have told all my friends about your web site and would recommend it to anyone. When the gown arrived we were very impressed and it looked even more beautiful in person. Thank you for making Milley’s Baptism extra special.

(note: this gown is no longer available, but is similar to our popular Erin shamrock embroidered christening gown.)
Have you given any thought to what goes under a christening gown or outfit? So much depends on what you’re working with and looking for. Is the fabric of your gown a light-weight sheer cotton or a heavy satin? Is your gown short or long? Do you like a little extra pouf under a dress? Or do you just want good coverage beneath?
For your convenience, many of our christening gowns are included with an appropriate length slip made of pure combed cotton. If you choose a style that does not include a slip, or if you’re looking for just the right thing to wear beneath a family heirloom or a masterpiece you’ve crafted on your own, we offer a nice selection of christening slips a-la-carte in different styles and lengths:
Our basic cotton slip comes in two lengths and is perfect under any dress that needs a good lining, especially under sheer or hand-crocheted gowns. It is constructed with a cross-back, button free closure for ease of dressing baby. This slip is available in two lengths to accomodate day-length (22-24″) as well as longer heirloom-length (32-34″) christening gowns. We can also make it in custom lengths for you–just let us know what you need, and we’ll be happy to whip one up for you (additional charges may apply for longer length). We offer a nice selection of embroidery options on this slip as well: you can have baby’s name and christening or birth date, a monogram, a cross, shamrock or meaningful phrase added to the hem, which adds a thoughtful, personal touch to a truly special outfit (you can see our current embroidery options on order pages).
Our exclusive bouffant slip adds a nice fulness to any gown, and can be worn beneath our basic cotton slip, or alone under the christening gown, depending on your preference. It is available in three lengths: dress-length, day-length, and heirloom-length. It’s perfect under gowns of all styles, whether simple or frilly.
We haven’t forgotten the boys–we offer a nice selection of long-sleeved, short-sleeved, and sleeveless bodysuits to provide coverage and a little additional warmth beneath any christening suit (bonus: personalization is also available on these items), so no matter how you look at it, when it comes to christening undergarments, we’ve got you covered. {wink}
Steven sent this gorgeous photo of his daughter in her first communion dress last year, he comments:
“I just wanted to send a picture of our daughter in her Miss Destiny dress and veil. One Small Child was truly spectacular in providing a beautiful quality design. Your company was amazing in getting the dress and halo to us in a short period of time. Our daughter felt wonderfully special during the event and at her communion dinner.
I would highly recommend your products to anyone.”

Kaitlyn looks so adorable in her gown! Her mother Katrina, writes:
“I loved working with you all on getting this gorgeous dress for our daughter Kaitlyn. Your website and customer service were great. You have so many great dress styles it was so hard to decide. We ultimately chose the Angela gown. We got so many great compliments on the dress and she was the star of the crowd.
We had her baptized on Sunday, January 11th 2009.
Thank you all for creating such outstanding gowns! You all did a great job and I will be recommending you to all.”
Darling little Elizabeth Claire is pictured here in our Clarice christening gown, surrounded by loved ones during her baptism ceremony this past August. Her mother, Julie, writes:
“I just stumbled upon some pictures of our daughter Elizabeth Claire during her baptism and wanted to write you and tell you: Thank you so much for the beautiful gown, our precious Claire looked so beautiful in her gown and she received so many compliments on it, you truly had the most wonderful customer service and the fastest turn around. I have already recommended your company to several friends. You have a terrific company.”
Look at this handsome little guy! His mother, Kerry, writes,
“I just wanted to send a photo of my son, Thom, in your Mason Christening outfit (no longer available). He was Christened on January 4, 2009 in Northern Ireland, and we received so many compliments!
We are returning customers as we had purchased your Brady outfit for our nephew in Philadelphia.
Thank you for such excellent service!”
