Boy's christening suit - help!!!

Can anyone suggest any bright ideas? We have left it rather late to baptise DS, so he will be 10 months old by the time we have it done. So a silky little romper suit feels wrong. I'd like a white suit instead - linen or cotton, rather than silk or satin. Trousers and waistcoat and a little shirt...

I love this M&S suit - it is a perfect, simple style, but it is stone instead of white (I could maybe go with that) and (the deal-breaker) is only available in 12m+ sizing.

Has anyone seen anything similar that would fit the bill?

have you tried vertbaudet or La Redoute?

Disenchanted3 · 24/04/2009 20:45

THIS HERE??

JackieNo · 24/04/2009 20:46

Yes - agree with Vertbaudet - they have this outfit.

dizzydixies · 24/04/2009 20:46

is nice or this?

Disenchanted3 · 24/04/2009 20:47

BIT OF BEIGE, lovely though

JackieNo · 24/04/2009 20:52

Bit different with no jacket.

JackieNo · 24/04/2009 20:53

This is cute too, but not a suit.

JackieNo · 24/04/2009 20:58

Another possibility, though a bit of beige.
Cute too
Only in 9-12 months.

Wow - that was quick! Thank you, everyone. I particularly like the Childrens Salon Billy Boy outfit that JackieNo suggested, but ouch - it is expensive. Although, I'd have to 'lose' the tie!!

I have just seen this which is gorgeous, but you have to buy the three trousers and shirt seperately. It is quite expensive, but I may just have to convince DH...

Whatever we choose, it has to have a button front as we'll need access to his chest during the service.

Cross posts, JackieNo - I like those, too... Decisions, decisions...

Not sure if you decided already but John Lewis did some gorgeous suits last year. Little white linen short sleeved shirt and trousers with a pale blue tank top. Our little boy looked scrummy in his and I don't think it was hideously expensive.
