Lillian Christening Gown with Preslee Headband - One Small Child

Your Christening Gowns: Baby Isabella Rose

Lillian Lace Christening Gown

What a lovely baby girl! Isabella’s mother, Reyna, writes:

“This is a picture of our daughter, Isabella Rose, in the Lillian christening gown. The gown arrived so much sooner than we expected. And it fit perfectly. It was absolutely gorgeous, excellent quality material and very well put together. She looked so beautiful and everyone asked us where we got the dress from. It was so hard to chose from the selection. All the gowns were so gorgeous. Thank you so much for making our daughter look so beautiful on her special day.”

Mariana Christening Silk Gown - One Small Child

Camilla Silk Christening Gown

Mariana Silk Christening Gown

Look at those eyes…I get lost in them every time I do! Our sweet little model, Harper, is shown here wearing Mariana, the newest addition to the One Small Child christening gown collection.

I adore so many things about this lovely gown. Lustrous silk dupioni cut in a simple style speaks of elegance and luxury without pretension. The gentle curve of the waistband is echoed on the brim of the bonnet and a vintage-inspired glossy lace is nestled at the waist for a truly unique finishing touch. The silk ribbon ties on the bonnet are soft as rose petals. The hem is finished with dual Venise lace on each side of a 100% pure silk ribbon, giving it just the right amount of detail.

We pictured this gown with our exclusive heirloom bouffant christening slip, and it gives a nice full look to the ensemble.

We cut and sew the Mariana gown when we receive your order…it always ships within one week. Order yours today!

Sawyer Satin Baptism Romper - One Small Child

Meet Sawyer, Our New Mock Overall Boys’ Christening Romper

I’m not sure what’s going on with the color on this picture, but I wanted to load it up anyway–this is our new boys’ satin christening outfit, and I’m so tickled to have it on the site, ready to ship. It’s been a pet project of mine for a while now, and one of my favorite things about this job is seeing an idea blossom and transform into something that will become a treasured heirloom.

With short sleeves and long legs, this romper is a great fit for year-round christenings–a nice, soft mid-weight satin with classic details (just add a sweater if the weather’s cool). The braid trim detail is just gorgeous but done in a way that keeps the overall look masculine. And here’s a bonus: if you happen to have twins, or want your new little boy’s outfit to look similar to the gown his big sister wore (or vice-versa), Sawyer looks stunning next to our Satin Christening Gowns.

Camisole Bodysuit - One Small Child

The Indispensable Infant Bodysuit

Camisole Bodysuit

The climate where I live is such that a baby really needs an undershirt all year, with the exception of maybe July and August. That said, warm-ish months don’t quite require full-sleeved coverage. Perfect for layering under ANYTHING, this camisole bodysuit was a staple of my baby girl’s year-round wardrobe. (Darn it, she’s grown out of bodysuits, or it still would be!) It’s particularly nice beneath sheer-sleeved or sleeveless tops or dresses, for special occasions or every day.

In regards to christening clothing, even if you are fortunate enough to enjoy warm weather year-round, have you ever noticed that it’s nearly impossible to find an all-white diaper? Particularly for little boys, there are times that the bright cartoonish graphics printed on today’s disposable diapers show through even heavy-weight white fabrics. The solution? A bodysuit of course! We offer three varieties of bodysuits: long-sleeved, traditional short-sleeved, and sleeveless to meet your particular needs.

Bonus: all our bodysuits are available with optional personalization. You can have baby’s name and date, a sentimental phrase, or monogram embroidered on any of our bodysuits for a truly unique keepsake of an unforgettable day.
