Baptism Dresses for Girls

Posted on September 15, 2022 by whiteelegance-admin

At White Elegance, we believe every girl should look as radiant on the outside as she feels on the inside when she chooses to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We are thrilled to present our line of enchanting, quality LDS baptism dresses for girls.

LDS Baptism Dresses for Her Special Day

Your little one’s baptism day is such an exciting day in her life! You can make it even more special when you find a beautiful, well-fitted dress that makes her feel like a queen. A beautiful dress marks the occasion and reminds her of the importance of baptism each time she wears it. Having a quality dress guarantees that it will last and will bring you both joy each time she puts it on.

The Importance of an LDS Baptism Day

Baptism is a covenant or a promise you make with God. When your daughter chooses to get baptized, they promise to follow God and His commandments and remember Him as best as they can. When someone is eight years old, they can make a choice to get baptized. People choose to get baptized at many different ages, from 8 years old to 100 years old.

A worthy man who holds the priesthood, the power of God on earth, will have the privilege of baptizing someone. Often, the priesthood holder is someone special, like a dad, grandpa, or uncle. Baptism is performed by immersion, which means you go all the way under the water and come back up. Baptism by immersion signifies death and rebirth to a new life.

After someone is baptized, they will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost helps Christians feel God’s love, comfort, and guidance throughout life.

What Do You Wear to an LDS Baptism?

Due to the sacredness of the baptismal covenant, your family’s guests will wear their Sunday best to the baptism. Sunday best is skirts, dresses, and pantsuits for women and shirt and tie for men. All are welcome to come to a baptism; Sunday dress is simply a way to show the baptized and God that they respect their decision to be baptized and want to support them.

When your little one is baptized, both her and the person baptizing her will wear all white. Most often, a white jumpsuit is provided for her and the person baptizing her. If she has a special white dress she wishes to get baptized in, she can bring her own white clothing. Just make sure that her clothing isn’t transparent when wet! You will need to pack a dry change of clothes to change into after the baptismal ordinance, which is most often your special baptism dress.

Common Questions About LDS Baptism Dresses

Are there any special requirements for an LDS Girls Baptism Dress?

If she chooses to be baptized in her baptism dress, it must be white and not transparent when wet. These are the only two requirements. Some choose to get baptized in a dress, and others prefer to wear a white jumper provided by ward or stake leaders.

Do Baptism Dresses for Girls Need to be White?

A baptism dress only needs to be all white if she will wear the dress to be baptized in. If she is wearing her dress before or after the baptismal ordinance only, it can be any color. Traditionally, dresses have been all white, but more and more girls are choosing to accent their white dresses with a little color, either directly on the dress or with a removable bow or flower.

Can a Girl Wear her White Baptism Dress during her LDS Baptism?

She can wear her white baptism dress during her baptism. However, many girls choose to get baptized in a jumper. That allows them the option to wear their dress after the baptismal ordinance. It is also a simpler option, as she won’t have to worry about the dress floating up or the hassle of changing out of a wet dress into a dry one.

Accessories to Match Her Baptism Dress

Make sure you come well-prepared on her special baptism day! White Elegance offers many accessories to match her style and the seasons.

Extras that Every Girl Needs

If your daughter, niece, or granddaughter is getting baptized, there are a few essentials you will need for her baptismal outfit and afterward. She will need:

Two pairs of white underwear
A slip for her dress
A towel
A dry change of clothes
Shoes
A comb or brush

White Elegance offers these and other accessories to prepare for her big day. If she is getting baptized in chilly weather, consider a cute, stylish jacket to pair with her dress. You may also want to have socks or tights.

Depending on how fancy she would like to be, White Elegance offers jewelry, hair ties, and bows for a quick yet radiant look after baptism.

Our Favorite LDS Baptism Dresses for Girls

Posted on June 1, 2021 by whiteelegance-admin

Baptisms are a special event for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

When you turn eight years old, you become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by entering into the baptismal covenant. This covenant can only be made when you reach the age of accountability at eight years old (see Doctrine and Covenants 68:27; Joseph Smith Translation, Genesis 17:11).

Baptism is the first saving ordinance a member of the Church makes to receive eternal salvation. Members believe that those who are baptized and keep their covenants are blessed for their faithfulness. Some of these blessings include:

The constant companionship of the Holy Ghost
The remission of sins
The privilege to be spiritually reborn
The promise of eternal life

You can decide to be baptized when you turn eight years old or as a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you choose to do so, you will be baptized by immersion.

Baptism by immersion means you are fully immersed in water by someone who holds the proper priesthood authority. That priesthood authority came directly from Jesus Christ and was restored through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This authority is later used on your baptismal day to give you the “Gift of the Holy Ghost” by the laying on of hands.

Preparing to be baptized requires faith. Your bishop will meet with you to discuss your decision and provide guidance. Together, you will decide whether you are ready to be baptized. If you choose to move forward, you will need to gather a few things before the special day. One item that we can help you with is your LDS baptism dress.

About LDS Baptism Dresses

If you choose to be baptized, you will reflect on that choice often. In fact, LDS church leaders council members to reflect on their baptismal covenant as they renew it each Sunday by partaking in the sacrament.

Many events that take place during your baptism are not a necessary part of the baptismal ordinance but long-standing traditions of the LDS church. For instance, LDS baptism dresses.

Wearing a white baptism dress is a traditional part of an LDS baptism. Unless you are wearing your dress for the baptismal ordinance itself, it is not required to wear white. However, a white dress is a traditional clothing item often worn by LDS girls and women before and after their baptism.

The white is symbolic of the covenant you will make during baptism. It reflects the light of Christ and being washed clean from sins.

For most church members, a baptism only happens once in their lifetime. The baptism dress should reflect the significance of the ordinance. It should not be an everyday dress but one that is special and unique.

While you will change into a white jumpsuit for the actual baptismal ordinance, you can expect to wear your white baptism dress for the remainder of the event.

Another expectation you can have on your baptism is taking a lot of pictures in your LDS baptism clothing and dress. These pictures will be special keepsakes that you can post on social media and pass on to posterity.

To help make your baptism special, we gathered a list of our favorite LDS baptism dresses.

Our Favorite LDS Baptism Dress Styles

Stardust

A customer favorite, Stardust features rich champagne netting and tulle layered over beautiful satin material.

The modest fit of the Stardust dress includes a natural waist, round neck, and traditional cap sleeve.

Add in the tulle bow that ties in the back, and this dress will be an unforgettable part of your little girl’s baptism day. An elegant satin cord over lace mesh makes the bodice unique and chic.

Our team recommends pairing this tea-length LDS baptism dress with tights and white baptism

shoes. It will be simply beautiful!

Enchanted

For the little girl who wants to look like she just stepped out of a fairy tale, Enchanted really is enchanting!

The delicate white lace covers the entire length of the fully-lined dress. However, our designers left the long sleeves sheer to accentuate the beautiful lace material.

The full-length and soft stretch make this the perfect option for girls that want to be beautiful and comfortable at the same time.

It even ties in the back for the perfect fit with a zipper for easy on and off dressing. The flowy fit and floral accents also lend themselves to twirls of fun.

Lady Bug

Speaking of twirling, if your little girl loves to spin around in circles when wearing a dress, Lady Bug is the dress to buy for her baptism.

Soft, yet chic lace lines the back and front of the bodice and sleeves for upscale style. Sheared soft chiffon cascades down the lower half of the dress for a simple finish. Tied in the back.

The dress’s empire waist makes for the perfect fit on any sized girl—petite or full.

Combine this white baptism dress with simple jewelry for the perfect touch.

Day Dream

Make your little girl’s day extra unique with our antique white baptism dress. Styled in a princess seam style with pleated cap sleeves, this classic dress nods to traditional 1920s fashion.

The baptism dress’s corded lace layers over a beautiful satin lining. An elegant fly-away opening exposes beautiful satin under the scalloped trimmed lace.

A popular choice for LDS baptisms, this fit, and flare tea-length dress will bring a smile to the face of any little girl.

Accentuated with a coordinating satin flower and inset pearls, the Day Dream dress ties in the back for a perfect fit.

Marshmallow Cream

Your little angel deserves a beautiful dress for her baptism day. Our Marshmallow Cream dress features the traditional special occasion fit we all know and love.

A cute, attached flower at the waist is simply luxurious and adds just enough flare to make this a top pick for young girls’ baptisms. Did we forget to mention the beautiful tulle that hits right below the knee? It is the perfect fit for our petite and fuller-sized girls.

Grab a pair of our tights, ruffled organza socks, and white baptism shoes, and you will have everything you need for the upcoming event.

Every Piece of Jewelry Tells a Story

Posted on February 26, 2018 by whiteelegance-admin

While White Elegance partners with several different charitable projects, this is one of our very favorites. All of our baptismal and blessing jewelry is produced in the Philippines by a group of resourceful and amazing Young Women.

They meet twice a week, either at the meetinghouse or their instructor’s home, to practice the different jewelry designs. “I am enjoying my time with these girls and I am inspired to help them reach their goals,” said their advisor, Chandra.

Making a Difference

Most of the Young Women have taken on this project in order to help contribute to their family income. When asked about what she will use her earnings for, Kyle (14) said, “I will spend [mine] for my schooling and I will not ask money anymore from my parents.” Herlyn (12) said, “I will save for the temple trip, missionary fund, clothes and family needs.”

According to Chandra, most of the girls have only one or two outfits at home, so paying for their own clothes gives them a real sense of independence and accomplishment. Many of them will use some of their funds to help pay for school fees and projects. Each of them enjoys the satisfaction of contributing to help support their families.

Jackie (age 21) was serving as the First Counselor in the Young Women’s program when she joined in the jewelry making. Chandra welcomed her to the group after Jackie received her mission call. “I’ll save my earnings for my mission…and give some to my mother for our daily expenses,” she said.

Why We Do It

Every time you purchase a baptism necklace or a blessing bracelet you directly impact the lives of these Young Women and their families. This is why White Elegance created this charitable partnership. The Young Women are blessed by their efforts, and we, in turn, are blessed by them.
