Brakkin Silk Christening Outfit - One Small Child

Your Christening Outfits: Baby Dylan in ‘Brakkin’

Handsome little Dylan (in our Brakkin silk christening outfit) looks like he stepped out of the pages of an heirloom family album! Sharon writes,

“I can’t thank you enough for all your great service and beautiful christening outfits! Your quality is superb! I was so tired of going to many large retailers and boutiques looking for a nice Christening outfit for our Dylan, 7 months old. I was prepared to spend whatever it cost and still could not find anything beautiful. I found many nice outfits – but none that moved me or seemed worth the money. Out of desperation I started looking online and came across your site. Your prices are so reasonable and the quality is above and beyond anything I’ve seen. I purchased the outfit, socks, and shoes from you… He was baptized on Sept 28, 2008.

Thank you so much and I will recommend your company to everyone I know. Thanks again and God Bless.”

Modest First Communion Dress - One Small Child

Your First Communion Dresses: Beth’s Daughter Wearing ‘Miss Shaylee’

Beth sent this picture of her lovely daughter along with her note:

“I had to write and tell you how pleased we were with the communion dress as well as your service. I ordered the Shaylee and wound up ordering two other dresses in different sizes (which should be on their way back to you.)

The dress exceeded expectations. It was absolutely gorgeous and everyone who saw my daughter in it thought so as well. It was a wonderful mixture of simplicity and beauty. My daughter felt very special for her first communion and the May crowning…

The pictures on your site do not do the dress justice-it absolutely shimmers in the sun light…Thank you for offering such a variety and for getting the second order to me so quickly.“

(Note: ‘Miss Shaylee’ is no longer available.)

Memory Christening Gown - One Small Child

Your Christening Gowns: Marisa’s Daughter in ‘Memory’

 

We received the following note along with this lovely portait back in 2006:

“I purchased the Memory christening gown for my daughter’s baptism back at the beginning of July. The gown took my breath away when it first arrived…it was simply everything I had dreamed of for my daughter! The lace was so very soft, and it looked like something I found in my grandmother’s attic!

After the baptism, I took my daughter to get her portrait taken in her gown. I just wanted to share the picture with you. The portrait looks like a family portrait from 100 years ago! The gown is magnificent, and the price just couldn’t be beat. We received so many compliments that day, but the main compliment was how many people asked if my daughter was in a 3rd or 4th generation gown!

I will gladly tell all my friends about your site, and I will be shopping again for holiday clothing and perhaps a flower girl dress for my mother’s St. Patrick’s Day wedding in 2007! Thank you so much for such a lovely, treasured heirloom that will be handed down with pride and love!”
