Do you need to buy a special baptism outfit for your child? Keep three things in mind as you choose your child’s clothes for the day sure to be filled with family, memories, and pictures.

•  The baptism outfit is very dressy, but doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. An overheated, unhappy baby has upset many baptism ceremonies and you don’t want that to happen to you. At DressKids.com, you can get fabrics to match your region’s climate and your child’s needs. For girls, blends of tulle, organza, satin, and cotton, are just some of your choices in baptism outfits. For boys, there are poly cotton blends, satin, gabardine, and other fabrics. Always let your child practice wearing the baptism outfit in advance of the big day.

•  A baptism outfit shouldn’t cost too much: baptismal memories should be about your baby’s presence, not your credit card’s balance. DressKids.com has a great choice of gorgeous, heirloom-quality baptism outfits at reasonable prices. And if you’re unsure about the right size or style, you’re allowed to order and return up to three baptism outfits with no charges for restocking. You do have to pay shipping, but that’s a lot cheaper than driving to distant childrens formal wear boutiques, which likely don’t have the baptism outfit you want, anyway.

•  Your child’s baptismal outfit may become an heirloom: so you should take good care of the baptism outfit at all times. Careful flushing out by blotting – never rubbing -- any stains on the baptism outfit helps protect it, as does gentle washing or dry cleaning after the baptism. DressKids offers a 100% unbleached muslin preservation bag for safely storing forever your baby’s baptism outfit, along with his or her baptism blanket, baptism socks, baptism booties, baptism bonnet or hat, and baptismal bib.
