Dressing for a baby baptism in a church

Grace has been invited to a baby baptism to be held in a local church which will be followed by a celebration party. The ladies dress code has simply been described as  "full length dress".

When she popped in to see me,  she had a checklist of what she wanted in a dress ; had to be red, flattering, full length and preferably with sleeves. She was open to the option of a sleeveless dress, if we could get a matching bolero.

After trying on a few dresses, she fell in love with this lovely, long red dress, made of soft flowing fabric that draped beautifully on her size 14 frame.

With a dainty silver necklace and heels she was good to go.

That only took 10 minutes, what a winner!!

Dressing for a church baby dedication

Lola my friend was blessed with a baby boy a few weeks ago and she was having what i would term as an elaborate baby dedication. When she came in to see me, we had a chat about motherhood, the highs, the lows, the laughter the tears and all that.

When it got down to getting a dress, it was proving a little difficult. Lola's eyes weren't lit up as i showed her the options. She has been my customer for years so i know her quite well. She is a bubbly girl and when she sees something she likes, her eyes always light up. But this time i just wasn't getting the spark from her. Every dress was met with a firm no!

I smiled at her and she said to me "let me show you some pictures of what i typically wear to church on Sunday."

It was then that i realised that she wanted more of an embellished gown as opposed to simple dress. So we agreed that royal blue would be the best colour to match her husband's tie and baby's outfit.

She had lost most of the baby weight, but was still concerned about the tummy so we went for an empire waistline detail dress to draw attention away from the natural waist.

This dress was perfect as it had cap sleeve. She was planning to accessorise it with silver sandals and a silver bangle.
