DS Christening - What Should He Wear

[Janbo25]

Hi, my ds is 8 months old and he is due to get get christened next week, I still need to find a suitable outfit for him, but don't want to get him a traditional romper suit/sailor suit. I'd be grateful for any ideas or pics people may have??

Many Thanks hope you all can help!

this?

mine all wore christening gowns!
But a nice pair of trousers and shirt with maybe a 'tank'top

thanks for the suggestion, not after anything frilly like that, just something plain simple and smart

My ds2 is being christened next week too . He'll be wearing ds 1 christening out fit(traditional romper suit ). My sister got a lovely cream linen suit from Monsoon for her ds's christening a few weeks ago.

Some lovely stuff \link{http://www.childrenssalon.co.uk/SObabyboy.html\here) but a bit pricey.

do you think a suit would be too much or would it look good?

A 3-piece-suit on an 8-month-old is waaaaay too much, imo.

would a shirt and trousers be smart enough?? please help I've left it way to late!!

Dn's suit was just a cream granddad style jacket and trousers and as it was linen was very light. He just had a vest underneath.

don't suppose you've got a pic i could have a look at have you whimsy?? [email protected]

Have sent you a picture. Im sure shirt and trousers would look lovely. Next have some lovely shirts

I agree snaf. Ds1 was baptised at around this age and he just wore a smart pair of navy thick cord trousers and a smart shirt. He looked lovely and not at all OTT. But each to their own of course!

DS wore a lovely set: creamy/beige trousers, cream cotton shirt and a cream knitted tank top. I got it from a specialist shop in Meadowhall, Sheffield - can't find a picture online but similar to this .

what was the shop called calico?? also do either you are aero have any pics that you wouldn't let mind me having a nosey at just for ideas??

Thanks for the picture whimsy, funily enough I was just looking at monsoon

Hi again Janbo

The shop's called Olivers - it's a little independent shop in the Oasis right at the bottom of meadowhall - I don't know if you know it all. The website I linked to is this one which has a stockists page to find somewhere more local to you.

I haven't got a photo scanned in of DS at his christening but his outfit was v. similar to the one in the pic I linked.

HTH

many thanks just found there is a stockist not to far from me so i will go there this week! x

mine wors trouers shirta dn tank top

mine wore sailor suit type combo in pale blue, v.cute
they will kill me when I get photos out to show their girlfriends

I'm afraid I detest frilly traditional christening outfits and old man's suits for babies (sorry, just my opinion!) - ds3 wore a pair of linen trousers and a white ribbed jumper (it was a cold month!).

The other 2 were christened in summer and had on smartish dungarees (beige I think) with a white t-shirt underneath.

No shoes either - hate shoes on babies.

Mine were all around 4-5 months.

When ds3 was christened another baby was christened at the same time - he was done up to the nines in a navy and white silk sailor suit complete with hat - I had trouble keeping my face straight!

ditto

where's the best place to buy something appropriate from, i'm off to the trafford centre later?

i'm with you skate don't really like suits on a little baby either!

What about somethings like This?

went shopping last night and managed to get him something similar to the ideas you have given, we got some brown trousers from john lewis a white shirt and a brown tank top from next and they go together really well.

Thanks for your advice xx
