Short Christening Gowns and Baptism Dresses

Short Christening gowns offer a graceful alternative to the traditional long baptism gown. Their lighter, more manageable length can be a practical choice for older infants and toddlers while still providing the classic white look families want for Baptism, Christening, or baby dedication.

A Comfortable Choice for Active Babies

Shorter gowns and dresses allow more freedom around the legs and can be easier when a child is sitting, crawling, standing, or beginning to walk. They are also convenient for warm-weather ceremonies and family celebrations where the baby may wear the outfit for several hours.

Choose from Lace, Satin, Organza, and More

Look for simple satin dresses, delicate lace, embroidered details, organza overlays, bows, floral accents, and other age-appropriate embellishments. A shorter hem does not have to feel casual; many designs are beautifully formal and photograph well in church and portrait settings.

Finish the Christening Outfit

Coordinate the dress with a bonnet or headband, white socks, shoes, bib, blanket, or lightweight sweater from our Christening accessories. To compare longer and shorter styles, browse the complete girls Christening gowns and dresses collection.
