Christening of infants has a rich 2000 year history. Traditionally girls and boys wear a long white or cream christening gown which symbolizes purity, joy, and new life. Gowns are appropriate attire for either a boy or a girl. We also have Christening rompers for boys.

The christening gown is not only a thing of beauty; it signifies a major rite of passage in the life of the child and the family - becoming family heirlooms which tie the generations of a family together.  For the Catholic daughter, the gown she wears on her christening day will be one of her "Three White Dresses", each of which marks the most important rituals in her life: her Christening/Baptism, her first Communion/Confirmation, and her Wedding Day.

Many women preserve their baby's christening gown for them to pass on to their grandchildren.
