baptism dress
White infant garment
A baptism dress is a formal white garment worn by an infant or young child during the Christian sacrament of baptism.
The white color traditionally symbolizes purity and new spiritual life.
These dresses are often elaborate, made of lace or fine cotton, and may become family heirlooms passed down through generations: She wore the same baptism dress her grandmother had worn.
