Finding a good baptism dress is often hard. Keep three things in mind as you choose your child’s outfit for a day filled with memories, not to mention videos and photos.

•  The baptismal dress should be formal: but remember who is wearing it. A fidgeting child in hot, ill-fitting formal wear has ruined many a baptism. At DressKids.com, you can get fabrics to match your region’s climate and your child’s temperament. Blends of satin, cotton, organza, and tulle are just some of your choices in baptism dresses. Lace and/or appliqué bodices and sleeves make your baptism dress even more attractive, without sacrificing comfort.

•  A baptism dress shouldn’t be too expensive: baptismal memories should be about your baby’s beauty, not your credit card’s balance. DressKids.com specializes in pretty, heirloom-quality baptism dresses at reasonable prices. And if you’re unsure about size or style, you may order and return up to three baptism dresses with no restock charge. Just pay shipping, which is a lot cheaper than driving to distant – and usually inadequate – childrens formal wear boutiques.

•  Your child’s baptismal dress may become an heirloom: so, if you desire, take good care of the baptism dress both while it’s being worn and afterward. Careful flushing out by blotting – never rubbing -- any stains on the baptism dress helps protect it, as does gentle washing or professional cleaning after the baptism. DressKids.com offers a 100% unbleached muslin preservation bag for storing your baby’s baptism dress, along with her baptism blanket, baptism socks, baptism booties, baptism hair bows, and baptismal bib.
