    Thanks girls! I need to buy Danica her baptism dress this weekend. I'll have to keep these in mind. 

    ETA: I didn't even know this was in Newtown. It's not far from my house at all. I'm def going this Saturday. Thanks Erin!

  • do it h-dubs!  you won't be sorry (you bank account might be...).  the ladies there were awesome and super helpful.  they had some great christening gowns from super plain and traditional (what we ended up with) to very elaborate and ornate. 

    if you join the mailing list they have lots of good coupons and sales.  i will check my email to see if they have anything for this weekend and forward it to you if they do.

  • Thank you! I love you!

    I was just looking online and I'm in love with a few dresses. Unfortunately they are in the $200.00 range. I'm trying to balance brattyness with practicalness (I know I made those words up).  Some of these are like full out mini wedding gowns, though.

     

    I'm drooling over this one:

  • I don't know why but I'm feelin' the vintage-y ones. I also like that it's not white and is an off-pink color.

    It sucks because I have a christening gown that my mom, uncle, 2 cousins and I all wore in my closet at home. We were so bad and procrastinated with this so much that there is no way Danica could fit into it now. It was getting to the point that she'll be married before she gets baptized so we finally pulled the trigger and are doing it on the 12th.

  • such a pretty dress!  when we were there this summer they definitely had some off-white gowns in a satin/taffeta.  not sure if they will still have them but i would be surprised if they didn't.  i don't know what the detail looked like though- obvs we weren't going with a pink lace
