Christening Gowns/Robes

Hi, can anyone help please? We are having our son christened in August and I am struggling to find a gown/robe for him. There are plenty on the internet but I would like to go to a shop and actually look at some. Does anyone know of any shops that sell them in the Worcestershire or West Midlands area? I have phoned around some wedding shops but haven't had any joy.

Hi!

I've seen a couple of christening outfits in John Lewis, if that's any help...
Have a great day!!!

I got my lo's gown from Next.

If you're any where near Bedworth (not far from Coventry) there is a shop that only sells baby occasion wear. Can't remember what they're called but can find out if you want me to?

Thanks for all your help. I looked on the John Lewis, Next and Debenhams websites but they either don't have one or they only have ones for girls. I also tried BHS as we got wedding outfits for our two older boys from there but they don't have anything either.
Rebecca - thanks but Bedworth is a bit too far out for me, thanks anyway.
Thanks for your suggestions, I'll keep looking but it looks like I'm probably going to have to get something from on-line. x

Hi there - I too am looking for Christening gown for my little girl. Mamas and Papas do lovely ones and I was in Debenhams on Sunday and they too have nice ones too, both had boys. Her are the links for the website - hope it may be of some use.

Thanks for that New_Mum2Be, I looked at the links you gave. I am really looking for a gown rather than rompers and unfortunately I didn't like the one on the Debenhams site and Mamas and Papas didn't have any gowns for boys. I am grateful for the help I have had on this page but I think I am going to end up getting one from one of the websites I have looked at, they have some very nice ones but I thought it would be better to go to a shop and look at them to get a better idea of what to get. Thanks all x
