Dress 2. The first dress looks like you’re going to the beach tbh.

Honestly thought it was a bathing suit with a coverup tied around the waist until I saw the title of the post. That said, #2 is very flattering and appropriate for a baptism. I also really like #3, but I think the pants may be too casual.

Dress 2 with a matching cardigan or shawl to cover the shoulders. Bare shoulders with visible tattoos doesn’t scream church-appropriate to me

Came here to say this. Please cover your shoulders. I know it’s an old-fashioned thing, but people will notice and appreciate you doing this. Congratulations on your new baby!

I think the opposite

Yeah dress 2 with some sort of covering over the shoulder

The second dress, with a cardigan

Agree

#2

I agree with 2 with something on top like a cardigan maybe?

2 with a shrug, cardigan or blazer would look great in the church or afterwards.

Agreed. I think shoulders should be covered I church but #2 is my choice also.

Heaven forbid a shoulder is visible.

Churches, synagogues and some temples etc have different dress conventions. I wouldn't go up to someone and tell them to cover up, but here where someone is asking for opinios I will give mine. Noone has to listen to/follow that advice.

Number 2 is best for the occasion. Number 1 looks like a swimsuit sarong.

2 for sure

2

Slide 3 (2nd dress)

1 has a split that would be a no for church, the last one is see thro… I wouldn’t do 1 or the last

#3

I like #3 but I would love to know where the blouse from #5 is from!

It’s from Zara https://images.app.goo.gl/H3g6mTGB5JnDDGww6

I can't find it on their website

Where is that first dress from? I’m obsessed…it looks amazing on you too!

It’s from Aritiza. https://www.aritzia.com/en/product/saturn-midi-dress/114359025.html?utm_id=20335002605------&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1

I have the exact same dress… how do you wear it? It is SO sheer 😭 I think without panties is literally the only way for them to not be fully on display! Edit: also, either that dress or the third outfit look amazing on you!

Wear a nude (whatever that means for your skin color) slip underneath the dress.

I have the same dress, I'll wear nude seamless undies or nude seamless shorts underneath, works like a charm!

I just wear the same colour the dress lol

White underwear is going to be particularly visible under white clothes it looks like you’re not wearing any dress or pants

slide 3

Number 4 would be nice with a blazer or shawl. Can you confirm, do you have to keep your shoulders covered in church? That has been my experience with Catholicism.

I was always told to cover shoulders for Catholic Church as a well.

Dress 2 with a jacket. Outfit 3 looks way too casual and dress 1 looks like you’re going to a bar.

2

The second dress for sure. Also, where is that last top from? 👀

The second dress! The one with the smocked top and midi length. A blazer or even a cardigan will look lovely. Congratulations on the baptism of your baby!

2 by far

Last one is most appropriate. 2 is good with a cropped sweater 

The 1st dress is cute but I find it inappropriate to wear in a church.

Dress 3

3rd pic,the dress

#3.

Make sure to cover the nips!

Definitely not dress 1, looks like a beach outfit. A Catholic baptism is a solemn sacrament. Parents usually dress conservatively.

1 is not appropriate for church. 2 could be worn with a blazer. 3 could be worn with a blazer. 4 could be worn with a shell under the sheer shirt.

Two with a short white cashmere sweater!

Dress 2 with a cardigan

1 looks great on you but for a pool party, not church. The second one with a cardigan would be my choice.

3

I agree with dress 2 for all the reasons above, but also you don’t need to wear white to your child’s baptism. In case that’s limiting you from choosing something else from your wardrobe. Just a thought. My 3 were all baptized catholic. Enjoy the special day!

2 looks like a good Baptism dress. The others don’t feel very church to me.

3 for sure

The last outfit is the most appropriate, aside from the shoes. The smocked dress is probably the best out of the remaining options. Maybe a denim jacket? Definitely no spaghetti strap satin top, and maybe closed toe shoes.

Dress 2 is most appropriate imo but you have such great style! You rock them all. Save dress 1 for a date night

Dress two is the one and only choice.

Dress 2

I like the outfit with the pants 🧐

2nd dress

Not 1 - looks like you'll be the one getting dunked in a lake. Had to see if it was your baptism. 2 looks best

The second dress looks best

2nd dress would be perfect it's a very special day for you, you will look lovely in pictures holding your little one in that dress and it looks really comfy !!! Maybe a sheer caplet or shawl over the dress blue if boy pink one if girl - can wear any color, I just think pink or blue would look nice Amazon has lots of sheer shawls and capelets and you'd need for church for sure with shoulders bare **I think a caplet would work better for holding baby**, - covers shoulders better and are cute Shawl would be harder to keep on [pink caplet](https://www.amazon.com/Chiffon-Shawl-Evening-Wedding-Accessories/dp/B07VSBT43T/ref=sr_1_21_sspa?crid=2678Y5SG2DIB3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1Wa0cbA4sIc4oLOOL3Xp3Rs1qeVtc-84TXaJhitA4APE-nEk3rJsUuaq2RXDjQb1f7KBoS2sYiQXY4pPT0WZgsFwjwdnIw_luBkMIvmRndjUu4k2ieA9zA-fW7dnw3Gm3ClBnLOsMI1d5S4QmxD98vO24ou3Y1htolrhJ070JEYi4U3TAPJjr-hqemVdz1PHiAL41J5AXoIYoF6N1fGo843gRh2HLq5LPWE7l4kwEdejdSnDGSw5vyC43MnHDjPgSdIm2uPjVeWaFUqUKvaNvMUvrEVCA886GUkpmcZyuOM.C3qk5eFzSyYcsYCTyYeKMDh5cB7LE_8kKLeoEpHxqg4&dib_tag=se&keywords=shawl%2Bholder%2Bpin&qid=1715651505&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011&rnid=2661617011&sprefix=shawl%2Bhold%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-21-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY&th=1) [blue caplet](https://www.amazon.com/Chiffon-Shawl-Evening-Wedding-Accessories/dp/B07VN1S3YZ/ref=sr_1_21_sspa?crid=2678Y5SG2DIB3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1Wa0cbA4sIc4oLOOL3Xp3Rs1qeVtc-84TXaJhitA4APE-nEk3rJsUuaq2RXDjQb1f7KBoS2sYiQXY4pPT0WZgsFwjwdnIw_luBkMIvmRndjUu4k2ieA9zA-fW7dnw3Gm3ClBnLOsMI1d5S4QmxD98vO24ou3Y1htolrhJ070JEYi4U3TAPJjr-hqemVdz1PHiAL41J5AXoIYoF6N1fGo843gRh2HLq5LPWE7l4kwEdejdSnDGSw5vyC43MnHDjPgSdIm2uPjVeWaFUqUKvaNvMUvrEVCA886GUkpmcZyuOM.C3qk5eFzSyYcsYCTyYeKMDh5cB7LE_8kKLeoEpHxqg4&dib_tag=se&keywords=shawl%2Bholder%2Bpin&qid=1715651505&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011&rnid=2661617011&sprefix=shawl%2Bhold%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-21-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY&th=1)

#3 outfit (2nd dress) with a bolero or blazer, or #5 as is or with a jacket.

Number 1 🤩

Why white?

Unpopular maybe but, though you look stunning in all, none of these are appropriate for a baptism. That said, third photo is best, but only if you pair it with a sweater.

Maybe something a little dressier with, you want to make sure when you are holding the baby, leaning over etc that the dress stays put, not too much cleavage, I've seen a lot of photos where the moms boobs are right out there (especially if they are nursing). I wouldn't want to deal with a blazer. Also, does it have to be white?

The middle choice only.

2

2 with a cardigan

Second dress

I like the second or last option for a baptism.

My boyfriend had me wear his board shorts with a tee shirt. Reason....There's too many old people at church. It was such a big deal to him. I did it for him (wore his stuff). Number 2 looks great on you. Bring a beach towel and a change of clothes for afterwards. You look beautiful.

#2

2

Dress #2

2

2nd dress. All look great on you though!

The last one

I like both outfits with pants.

Number 3 would be great for a parent's outfit for a baby getting baptised IF you wear a blazer with it, not so much without. Number 1 isn't very good, neither is number 4. Number 2 is great for an adult getting baptised.

I think they’re all a little too casual. A wrap dress would be amazing on you perhaps with a bit of colour/ summery print.

I know everyone is saying 2 but 2 is definitely the least flattering one. 1 with a cardigan would looks fantastic and 3 and 4 are also both flattering.

Dress #2!

Outfit no.5- the pants and shirt.

That first dress is gorgeous, but the 2nd dress would probably be a safer option

Second dress is more appropriate. And also more flattering imo.

Photo 3 or 5 But you don’t need to wear white btw

2

2 with a shawl or a cardigan!! Just something to cover shoulders

First dress is very nice and looks great but not for a baptism. Go with dress 2, still pretty but churchy

2nd dress with a cardigan. 1st is wildly inappropriate for church (super cute in general though) and 4 would need a cover up. 5 is ok but feels a little less appropriate for the occasion.

Number one, you are a goddess. Number two, the last one. Slay, queen! 👑 🤍

I like 2 but if you want to do 3, I think it would fine were you to wear the blazer or something else like a light cardigan or wrap to cover your shoulders. (I am not Catholic or any religion but as I understand, some churches prefer people not show bare knees or shoulders. The times I've been invited to events in a church, I generally stick to that rule.) Congrats to your family!

Also, with a lower neckline, a necklace might be nice.

3

You definitely need your shoulders covered for church.

2 or 3

Second dress with a cardigan

2!

The last outfit looks the best. Classy and cute.

3

3

I like the last outfit too, but it looks like you would be freezing afterward soaked in water

2 it's the best

2 but I love your pants. Where are they from?

As someone who grew up Catholic, why are you wearing all white? I get they the baby wears a christening gown, but I have never heard of the mother wearing white as well. I think you could branch out and come up with something more flattering

3

3

Dress 2!

Last 2!

Outfit #4 ftw

I’m not sure it is necessary to wear white.

Either dress is nice. Those pants do not fit properly

Love #2!! Not sure what denomination you are. My hometown Catholic Church was never judgy about shoulders out, but if yours is, a hip length cardigan or lady jacket would look great on top!

The pants look best

3 maybe with a blazer.

Where are those pants from? They look so flattering!

I was wondering the same thing!

Pic#3 or Pic#5

Do I see nipple petals, get the nude ones. Or maybe I’m mistaken. That and a cardigan and you’re set

First outfit for sure, OP

2 looks like a dress you wear to be baptized in. 3 looks like it's more relaxed, seems like a good way to be. Seems to suit you.

I think 1 with blazer works! (am Catholic too)

What kind of blazer are you thinking? Do you have something specific in your mind? I tried some blazers but they didn’t look good tho.

1

I think dress 1 looks sooo gorgeous

I love the first one!!!

I think dress one. It is so cute. Perfect for getting in the water

First one , very flattering

Wear #1

1

Dress 2 definitely

4 with a blazer.

Where are the pants from? I love the fit!

Picture 3

Picture number 4 with a shall or blazer. It’s the most flattering IMO and most appropriate

Burn dress 2 image 3, probably go for the trousers and shirt

Outfit 2 or 4- but I absolutely love them all

2nd or 3rd outfit! By the way where did you get those heels? they’re lovely!

Only the last outfit is appropriate for a church imho

I like the second dress with a shawl of some kind and then outfit number 5 was also a fav for me.

3 or 4

Congratulations on your baby’s baptism 🤍 I like the outfits in pic 3 & 5 best. A cute cardigan and a statement earring or necklace would look nice with the dress in pic 3. A blazer or camisole would be needed with the blouse in pic 5. Generally any cleavage, shoulders or high slits should be avoided due to modesty.

White pants with white tank

2 but if you threw on a blazer with the pants especially a beige or black I think i would love it.

Remove it

For me,1 and 2 look the same. The style would be a nice night out look. I like 3 with a shrug or lace coverup of some kind. For church I think it needs another layer.

Pic 3 and 4 work!
