Brand new: classic “Jon-Jon” styled shantung suit is comfortable, cool, and ALL BOY! The soft cotton shirt is cut in a bodysuit style, so no bulky undershirt flaps and bunches beneath the overalls, and a jaunty visor beret hat finishes off the look with plenty of personality! This returnable made-to-order item is available in seven sizes from Newborn to 24 months and ships within one week of your order.
It is a traditional gown…and it is silk! But there’s more: a matching visor hat ornate with a braid trim and a cotton (and comfy) slip beneath the gown!
Silk gowns are popular for the appealing ritzy fabric. We take the concept a step further: choose on of our matching rompers made from the same silk and you have a great look for after the ceremony too! Here are a couple of our popular silk rompers (pictured below: Francis, Charles, and Samuel). Adding one of theses with our silk William boy gown, sold separately, and you have a duo made in heaven!
Our new Anthony silk christening suit is to. Die. For. Gorgeous! Made of sumptuous 100% silk dupioni, the short-sleeved romper is dressed up with hand-sewn pintucks and silk-covered buttons. The long-sleeved jacket attaches to the romper at the waist and features a cut-away front hem that dips down to a long formal back (you can view our beautiful detail photos here). A jaunty visor-beret hat finishes off the look, reminding me of a child in a Victorian painting, all soft and dreamy and fancy, but still clean-lined and boyish.
Shopping for christening gowns and baptism outfits online has its advantages (convenience of 24/7 shopping, large selection of styles and and sizes) and disadvantages, one of the biggest being that you can’t actually *feel* your selections before ordering them. We get that!
To offset that challenge, we’ve provided detailed descriptions of the fabrics we use in each garment. To find this information, just look under any listing’s description. It will be in the star bulletin named “Fabric”. You can also get a detailed description of each fabric by going to our fabrics description page. The fabric will be listed in columns, along with a short description of the textile.
In addition to the information found on each page, we proudly offer an unparalleled return policy with no re-stocking fees!

Finally! We’ve been looking forward to introducing this adorable little knit christening outfit for a long time! A short-sleeved, short-legged version of our ultra-popular Korbyn knit romper, Braeden comes with a matching knit beanie hat and is available in five sizes: Newborn through 12 months.
Little white tuxedos have long been a favorite for christenings, baptisms and blessings. They’re dressy, they’re masculine, and there’s just something about a tiny version of menswear that makes people stop and say, “Awwwww.”
I’ll be honest. Tuxedos for babies are not always easy to design, sew, or wear. They’re fairly complex in construction, and most suits for babies are designed exactly like their bigger counterparts, with a shirt, a vest or cummerbund, pants, and tie. The problem is: that’s a lot of stuff to fuss with on a squirmy little guy (especially a newborn). A shirt hanging out the back of my baby’s pants just isn’t quite the look I’m going for in a formal setting. Know what I mean?
Over the years, we’ve worked hard to produce our own version of the christening tuxedo…it’s taken a lot of making and tweaking and changing and updating, but I think we’ve finally got it! Our Ryker christening tuxedo is constructed of gorgeous polyester shantung…crisp and pristine white with a subtle silk-like texture. It’s trimmed with soft, lustrous matte satin. It’s intended to fit little babies (most imports are sized so big that the smallest suits fit in the 9-12 months size range, but our tuxedo is available in sizes newborn through 12 months.)–so we left out the vest and cummerbund. The best part: the shirt is constructed as a bodysuit, so no shirt-tails sneak out the back of the pants. Ever. It’s made here in the U.S.A., and it’s one-of-a-kind. Our tuxedo comes with a traditional bonnet, which can be substituted with a trendy beret at your request. Bottom line: It’s a suit sure to please all of baby’s loved ones.
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.
