christening gown
Infant baptism attire
A christening gown is a long, elaborate white dress worn by an infant during a Christian baptism ceremony.
These gowns are traditionally made of fine fabric with lace or embroidery, often becoming family heirlooms passed down through generations: The baby wore the same christening gown her grandmother had worn sixty years earlier.
