Hello there!
I'm kind of new here and you guys seem like you could help.
What on earth does one wear to a christening? And where do I find whatever that thing is?
It's a few weeks from now so it should be warm. I want to get something pretty simple so that I can keep wearing it throughout the summer and definitely a neutral color.
Any advice would be great - thanks!

any sundress would do. i have been to many christenings before and usually end up wearing a j.crew/lilly pulitzer "easter dress," for lack of a better description.
just an example of the pricer side..

sorry for the overload of options/examples :)
Last March, a few designers embraced the one off ad. Ads are expensive, and if you've got the momentum of a Rodarte or a Phillip Lim, unnecessary (for now). Unless of course the economy tanks. One of the designers who gave the idea a shot, Zac Posen, shot this ad… Read More

If it's a formal event during the church service, I'd just wear normal "Sunday" clothes, like a pretty dress. Depending on how conservative the church and family are, you could probably get away with something like these at Nanette Lepore:

They're really versatile, feminine dresses that should be appropriate. If you're unsure, bring along a light blazer or pretty cardigan for extra coverage. Hope this helps!
