Baby Girl Christening Dresses, the Smock Dress Explained

If you're not familiar with the term, a smock dress (what we'd call a "jesusito" in Spain) is a loose, gathered dress that's become one of the most requested styles for christenings across Spanish children's fashion. It's less formal than a long christening gown, but still carries the finish a baptism calls for.

Every dress in this collection comes with matching bloomers, and most include a bonnet or collar in the same fabric, so the whole outfit arrives coordinated. Fabrics range from floral and animal prints to velvet and checked patterns, depending on how traditional or playful you want the look to be.

Velvet for Winter, Floral for Warmer Months

The velvet smock dress with matching bloomers and collar is the most formal option in the collection, best suited to a winter christening or an indoor celebration. The floral and doll-print styles work well for spring and summer baptisms, and the checked fabric version, which comes with a matching bonnet, sits somewhere in between: dressy enough for the occasion, light enough for a warmer day.

Questions We Get About Christening Dresses

What exactly is a smock dress?

It's a loose-fitting dress with a gathered or smocked front, worn with matching bloomers instead of a long skirt underneath. It's shorter and easier to move in than a traditional christening gown, which is why many families choose it for an active baby.

Does the dress come with the bonnet included?

On four of the seven styles, yes, the bonnet is included and made from the same fabric as the dress. The other styles come with matching bloomers only, or bloomers and a collar. Check each product page to confirm exactly what's included.

Which style is best for a winter christening?

The velvet smock dress is the warmest and most formal option, with a matching collar that adds a bit more structure. For milder weather, the floral or checked fabric styles are a lighter alternative.

How do I wash a smock dress in velvet or floral fabric?

Hand wash or a gentle 30°C cycle, no bleach. For the velvet style, we'd recommend hand washing to keep the fabric's texture intact. Always check the care label before the first wash.

Before or After the Christening
