22nd June 2009 - Two New style hit the Scottish Collection
If you are planning a baptism north of the border this summer please take a look at our two new styles within the Scottish Collection. The first, The Lochlin Gown and Romper is ideal for those of you who are wanting the best of both worlds - gown or romper! This is a romper with a difference, it has a mock waistband. The skirt is fastened to the waistband with poppers and after the ceremony can easily be removed to reveal the romper underneath. Perfect!!!
And, please take a look at the Thomas Romper. This is a cheeky little romper but with its wool tartan trim and three little tartan butons it will surely look great on any little chap this summer. Please click on the Scottish page for more details.

Over the last few months it has become evident at Little Doves that Victorian and vintage Christening Gowns are making a revival. More and more familes seem to be turning back the clock and chosing heirloom family gowns to baptise their child in.

So if you have a vintage gown that is in need of TLC please contact us to discuss how it can be revived.

14 January 2009 - Launch of new Scottish Collection
The Scottish Collection is a sumptuous collection of christening gowns, christening rompers and accessories celebrating the wonderful heritage of Scotland and its Clans. Every Clan has a crest, a shield, a motto and indeed a tartan and these have all been encorporated in this christening gown collection.
Linda Patrick says “this is a beautiful collection and every outfit is a work of love. Our aim is to make christening wear that means something special for the baby and its family. The white outfit is a symbol of purity for the child and by adding the crest and tartan it really becomes pertinent to the family and its heritage.”
This Collection includes crests and shields lovingly hand embroidered onto gowns and rompers as well as tartan shawls and trimming to outfits and accessories. Every clan crest, shield or Coat of Arms is available and of course every tartan too!
The Scottish Collection will be a wonderful addition to the Little Doves brand. We are always aiming to create unique collections to add to our range of christening wear. Little Doves is the only business offering hand embroidered crests on gowns. As well as being the perfect outfit for a Scottish baptism, the Scottish Collection is also ideal to be used for blessings, dedication and naming ceremonies as they provide the customer more options than the traditional white robes.
