JI want to thank you again for the quick response to my needs. I really appreciate your help and wanted to let you know that my sons baptism was fabulous, and he looked absolutely adorable in the outfit and shoes we ordered. ~ Angela P., Illinois

JAs the UK has little in the way of Christening gowns for boys I ordered it from Shepherds Cradle. This was easy to do and correspondance between the company and myself was brilliant. It was worrying as this was my first time ordering from abroard and it was a late order. Delghted when it arrived on time for my grandsons important day. I would highly recommend the company for its excellent service and quality of products. ~ Mrs. Thomas., United Kingdom

JThe Shepherd's Cradle was just the store I have been looking for. Their products are high quality, and there is a large selection to choose from. And my order was delivered exceptionally fast. ~ Meg M., Utah

J Shepards Cradle is wonderful. I wanted to get some shoes for my daughter’s christening and they were shown as to be available soon on the website, but listed as not available until after the christening. I emailed them and asked if there was anyway I could get them earlier. They researched it, found the shoes would be in earlier, and allowed me to pre-order. I got the shoes 3 weeks before the Christening! Thanks so much. ~ Kywa H., Florida

J It is very difficult to find baptismal outfits for children over 6 months old! We were waiting until we found the perfect church home before having our son baptised, he is 15 months old. I was so happy to find 24 months sizes at your store! Thank you for making our sons baptism still feel like a baptism with a beautiful outfit that reminds us all that God is at work in what we do. God Bless You!. ~ Becky M., MN

J Flawless transaction. Exceptional merchandise. A little on the pricey side but well worth it. Quality items. I am very pleased with my purchase with the Shepherds Cradle and would use them again in a heartbeat. ~ Madeline S., Georgia

J The customer service at the shepherds cradle was excellent! I had a problem with my order and they were very helpful and ready to fix the problem. It was a wonderful shopping experience. ~ Rosie F., Michigan

J I purchased 2 christening gowns from the sheperds cradle and was very happy with my overall experience. There was no hassle and customer service was great. I was very pleased with the service and will recommend the site to my family and friends. ~ Renee T., New York

J The twins' lot of outfits arrived safely yesterday, delivered as scheduled by UPS. They are all gorgeous!! It has truly been a pleasure doing business with you...I hope to do more business in the future. Your "customer service" is among the best I've encountered. My girls and I sincerely appreciate all the time and effort you put in to ensure that we received our items in time for the Christening. Pictures were taken, so as soon as I get them developed (hopefully there there will be a few good ones), I will send you a copy for your website. ~ Kathy R., California

J I purchased a christening outfit for my son. It can be difficult to find a traditional christening dress for a boy, but The Shepherds Cradle offered several different styles. The pictures of the various outfits (with close ups of hats or details) were helpful. There were a number of shipping options available, and this site included links to calculate when you could expect delivery. The site also offered sizing information to help us choose the appropriate size. The outfit arrived on time and was well packaged. We couldn't have been more pleased with the appearance of the outfit - it was well made and fit him perfectly! We received many compliments on his outfit, and were happy to tell people where we had found it. It was the perfect touch for his important day. ~ Denise A., New Hampshire

J Shopping for a baptism outfit for a 5-month old was a little harder than I had imagined. However, I came across Shepards Cradle and they had a wonderful selection of outfits to choose from. We wanted something a little less formal, without a bowtie and this outfit was perfect. It's soft, hand washable and looked great without being too dressy. We received several compliments on it and I think we've just created an heirloom for our family for the boys. Thanks Shepherds Cradle! ~ Cyndee W., Pennsylvania

J EVERYONE LOVED ALL THE ITEMS FROM YOU AND I CAN'T WAIT TO PURCHASE MORE!! I KNOW MY GOD CHILD WILL LOOK AWESOME IN HER DRESS AND WITH HER BLANKET!!! I ALSO HAD HER NAME, BDAY AND A SHAMROCK EMBROIDERED ON IT IN EMERALD GREEN SINCE SHE IS IRISH!! LOOKS AWESOME!! A TRUE PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS WITH SINCE I LIVE OVERSEAS. ITEMS WERE MORE BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON THAN OVER THE INTERNET. PICTURES DO NO JUSTICE!!! THANKS AGAIN ~ Julie S., FPO

J An excellent site with beautiful christening clothes. I was able to find exactly what I had been looking for at a reasonable price. Ordering was quick and easy and shipping was fast. Thanks. ~ Lana H., Texas

J The website beautifully depicts the products available, the christening gown and accessories we ordered were very beautiful and perfectly done. When I placed the order needed in less than a week, the personal reply to our request assured me that I would have our order in the two-day delivery frame of time requested; it was received as promptly as promised. This is as excellent a website as I have ever experienced. ~ Shirley M., South Dakota
