The best baptism outfit is one your baby stays comfortable in through the whole day. Choose a soft, breathable fabric, a size with a little room, and order early enough to try it on before the ceremony.
Start with comfort
A baptism can mean a long day of being held, changed and photographed. Look for soft fabric against the skin, easy fastenings, and nothing stiff around the neck.
Choose the fabric for the season
Light linen and cotton suit warm months. For cooler days, add a layer such as a gilet, cardigan or jacket that can come off indoors.
Get the size right
Babies grow quickly, so choose by the size they will be on the day, not the size they are when you order. If your baby is between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Our size guide lists every size we make.
Order early
Allow time for delivery and a fitting at home. Customized or made-to-order pieces need 3–7 business days of production, then 2–5 business days of delivery within Lebanon. Ordering three weeks ahead leaves room for any changes.
Looking after the outfit
Handmade pieces last longer with gentle care: cold hand-wash only, no bleach, no tumble dry and no wringing. Store the outfit flat or hung in a cool, dry place so it can be kept as a keepsake.
