Christening Outfit - Chicago,IL

Hi A.,

I had luck for both my boys (christened in different sesasons, so could not re-use oldest outfit) at Talbot. Did not want anything "gowny" or fussy....no white satin suits please!!! For my oldest, had a very nice white cotton romper, and for my youngest, a warmer, slightly fleecy one piece with matching shoes. They are pretty reasonable too.

Hope this helps!!

We got our son his christening outfit at JC Penny. The one out at Woodfield mall in Schaumberg mall had the best selection.

Hi - there is a store next to the Trader Joe's on Clybourn Ave (they share the same indoor parking lot) that has a great selection. I can't remember the name of it, but it is the only store in the Trader Joe's parking lot.

I found a nice outfit on www.bestdressedchild.com Some of the outfits are a little pricey....but they do have some really nice classic looks

I found a cute onsie at Beautiful Beginnings in Western Springs. It was around $50. It was not too girly. Good luck!

My son was the same age when we got him christened and we wanted something comfortable, not too formal and inexpensive as well. We found a very cute comfy white outfit at the Gap. Good luck!

There's a huge place called AZUL Y ROSA (spanish for blue & pink) They have a huge selection, their prices are not bad we seen a few really cute ones between $35 - $45. They're in Cicero on Cermak Rd. near Central Ave. They're a unique store.
Good Luck

Have you tried JCPenneys? They usually have a nice selection of outfits and they are for the most part affordable.

Sears or JCPenney has a nice section of formal baby wear.

I also struggled with finding an outfit. It is amazing at how expensive they could be. I found mine at Pumpkin in Northbrook Court. They have a good selection.

I believe we got ours at Kohls and I think it was about 35. It was a little suit but it was about 3 years ago.

Our son was the same age. We got ours at JCPenney. Sears also had the same one. Von Maur also had some. You could try the internet. I found that they ran small. My son was 5 months and wore a 9 month size.
