After searching intensively...
Trying so many dresses, I finally have a dress to wear for baby´s baptism! I
have to say, it was really hard coming by a dress that would fit properly... And that wouldn’t make me feel that I still have a
huge mummy’s tummy!
There was other factor to consider, besides
the perfect fitting... I didn’t want (couldn’t really) buy other occasion
shoes, or scarves or cardigans to go with the dress, so besides having to fit
properly, it would have to go with other pieces of clothes that I already own
(and still fit!).
When searching for a
dress a typical question was what to mother´s wear to their babies baptism? I found
difficult to get a guide as most websites only consider the outfit that a guest
should wear and not the mother. I did found this article that mentioned a rule,
whatever is suitable to a mother of the bride to wear to a wedding should be
suitable to the christening ceremony. Besides this, I went with my common sense...
It should be an occasion outfit but much simpler than one that you would wear
to a wedding, a good thing is that there are no forbidden colours (well, I
would avoid white anyway). I also found
some trends for last season, as monochrome and florals.
And here is my selected
outfit:
I found this dress at
Monsoon, and this little beauty is really flattering. My existing tummy is pretty well
camouflaged! The shrug I already owned, I got it almost two years ago on sale
at Anthropology. The shoes, I already owned as well, I bought this pair at last
year at Kurt Geiger`s sale season to wear to a wedding.
Any thoughts about
this outfit?
