A Christening gown or christening robe is a very long, white infants' garment made especially for the ceremony of baptism.

Christening gowns are usually made of fine white linen or cotton fabric, and may be trimmed with tucks, lace, whitework embroidery, and other handwork.

Christening gowns often have matching bonnets, and may become family heirlooms, used generation after generation.
