Paris shopping: christening gown and other nice linens
During my trip to Paris in June, I'd like to pick up a really nice infant's christening gown. Can anyone give me some ideas for shops?
Also, any other ideas on stores which sell fabrics, I would be interested in also as I plan on sewing some quilts with fabric brought during my trip: again high quality fabrics preferable. Thank!! |
Many years ago we bought my daughter's outfit, gown and bonnet, in an upscale dept. store. Forgotten the name and when I just looked, it didn't pop up. I would start there and then proceed to the smaller shops which would be more expensive.

Yes, I knew I could start at the larger dept stores for the gown, just hoping someone might have an insider's view.
Thanks for your reply, though! |

Try Bonpoint, Tartine et Chocolat, and there are some upscale infants' clothing stores around rue du Dragon in the 6th.
|
La Chateleine on ave Victor Hugo is very elegant. Beautiful things for infants. There used to be one on Blvd St Germain, but I think it's closed.
|
There are many fabrics stores clustered around the base of Sacre Coeur on the east side. Some of the fabric stores sell packages of small precut squares specifically for quilts.
|
Great! Thank you all so very much, this gives me lots of places to look!

Hey,
Whats your budget? I bought a really lovely christening dress one for my last girl. Lily heritage[/URL] are pretty competitive and they have a huge range. I'm sure they deliver to Paris too. Or you could try m&s also - although they didn't have a massive range to choose from. Hope this helps!:) https://lilyheritage.co.uk https://lilyheritage.co.uk/baby-girls/christening Aliana |
Most of the fabric stores clustered around Marche St Pierre do not sell "coupons" (fabric swatches).
There are "merceries" which might sell you fabric swatches for 1 or 2 EU. There's one across the street from Marche St Pierre. BHV has packages of pre-cut cotton, on the order of Liberty of London prints. Le Petit Pan on rue Francois Miron has pre-cut swatches of brightly-colored cotton. |
