James will be getting baptised next month. He will be one so no cutesy baby clothes. We dont have a gown.
Any ideas? I am thinking a nice shirt and shorts/trousers. |

Harry was dedicated at 6 months (like baptism). He wore cute little brown cord dress pants, a blue striped dress shirt, matching styley vest and matching little shoes. Was very cute!! ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

Those photos are nice Marisa. Are they the dress pants from pumpkin patch? Its good to see them on a baby.
I was looking at that nzsale website and they have a sale starting tomorrow from soda kids so I googled them and they have some pretty cool linen pants and vests which could work...it will be hot in Feb. |

I had thomas in a little sailor suit and it was sooooo cute! I dont like gowns, they're way too girly. ------------- Alex, Thomas and Lily http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

yep the pants and shirts were from pumpkin patch. Both pants are pin striped but slightly different design, one had white stripes that were close together and small and the other were a pale blue bigger and further apart. Farmers also do dress pants but they didn't seem to start until age 4. I wasn't gonna get them so dressed up for the wedding but I couldn't find any other smart trousers, was all cargo pants, jeans or shorts everywhere else. -------------

| Missangel, I had my Tom in a kind of sailor suit too...but he was only 5 weeks and could pull it off. At 1 they are a wee bit more fashion conscious (when they look back at their photos LOL). ITs hard....he is still a baby but not baby baby. and I want him to look cute as hell!! (ooops...thats possible the wrong look for a church he he he) |

Farmers do suits for little boys. I've seen them in sizes as small at 1. Good luck

| We dont have a farmers nearby (within a 3 hour drive) but I had a suit for Tom for a wedding and it was a bit OTT. I think a nice crisp white shirt and some pants/shorts should do him nicely. Pumpkin patch seem to be in sale at the mo so I might order some things to try. |
