Christenings – Dresses for a Formal Christening – Mother, Grandmother, God Parent

When attending a Christening, it is important to remember not to wear a dress that is too short or otherwise revealing. The ceremony is often held in a Church or other religious venue, so think “smart” rather than “sexy” when choosing your attire.

It is not recommended you wear anything that shows too much skin, so a strapless dress or a low, cleavage-revealing neckline is not ideal.

Think of a Christening much like that of a Wedding. Think of it as an excuse to dress up in your finest occasion wear.
