Blessing dresses made the rounds with them too.

I had a friend who was having her daughter blessed (ten years ago) in the same dress as her great-grandmother. I am not sure what the date of that first blessing was, but my friend said that the dress has made the rounds so that all the female descendants of that great-grandmother have been blessed in it, including twins who had their dresses changed between their blessings.

The Lion King thing is probably a bit more modern.

Makes me wonder why the baby is dressed in white? For a name and blessing? Was the practice the same in the early 20th century as it is now?
