Where to buy christening gowns for girls

Since the late 18th century, these gowns were made "from satin, silk and cotton and embellished with embroidery, ribbons and smocking." The christening gowns of today follow the tradition of the bygone age. You can buy christening gowns for girls in both traditional and a little more modern, though they are no less beautiful.
