We are getting my DS [nearly 3] and my DD [1] christened at our Catholic church this December. I have outfits for them that I am really pleased with, but i'm worried about whether they'll be appropriate.
DS - smart checked shirt in lots of lovely muted colours with grey corduroy trousers
DD - dark blue party dress with floral detail around hem with smocking, short sleeves and puffy skirt
I'm assuming you don't have to do the whole white gown thing if you're children are older, and that a smart outfit is fine. TBH, the only alternative seems to be the whole 'mini adult' type of outfit - eg. waistcoat and smart trousers for boy, taffeta dress for girl, which is lovely, but really not my personal taste - i like kids to look like kids i guess!
Would ask others at church but they had their babies christened as babies, so can't really advise, so any feedback or opinions would be appreciated.
Don't really want to ask the priest either as it seems a bit of a superficial concern! But i want them to be suitably dressed, so i'm not treating it as a fashion parade, honest!
Thanks
