About the Short Christening Slip
Crafted with care and precision, this slip is made from 100% pure cotton. This choice of material is deliberate, prioritizing the baby's well-being. The natural cotton is exceptionally soft, breathable, and gentle against sensitive skin, preventing irritation and ensuring comfort throughout the ceremony. The slip features a classic, simple construction, buttoned from behind for easy dressing and undressing. The quality of the stitching and fabric reflects the high standards of Danish design, focusing on durability and a clean, refined finish that will last for generations.
The slip is an indispensable accessory that significantly enhances the overall look of the christening outfit. By wearing the slip underneath, you ensure that the gown's delicate fabric, which is often sheer, maintains its modesty and opacity. More importantly, it acts as a protective barrier, shielding the precious gown from any potential wear or moisture from the baby's clothing, thus preserving the gown's pristine condition. This protective function is key to maintaining the garment as a treasured family heirloom.
Comfort and fit are paramount for a happy baby on their special day. The soft cotton and simple design ensure a non-restrictive, comfortable fit. The slip is available in two sizes, S (3-6 Months) and M (6-9 Months), which follow the generous Nordic sizing standards. We advise customers to consider choosing the smaller size if their baby is between sizes, as the fit is designed to be slightly large to accommodate various gown styles. With an approximate length of 72-76 cm, the slip is perfectly proportioned to work with most standard christening gowns, providing support without extending past the hemline.
What truly sets this product apart is its commitment to Danish craftsmanship and premium quality. It is more than just an undergarment; it is a piece of heritage designed to be part of your family's story. The focus on natural materials, simple elegance, and functional design makes this slip a superior choice. To maintain its heirloom quality, care is simple: we recommend professional dry cleaning, or a gentle hand wash in cool water (30°C or below) with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach and fabric softeners. Air dry flat and iron with medium heat to keep the cotton crisp and ready for its next appearance. This careful preservation ensures the slip remains a beautiful keepsake for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Short Christening Slip
Q: Why is a christening slip necessary?
A: A christening slip, or petticoat, is essential for two main reasons: it adds a beautiful, subtle volume to the christening gown, allowing the delicate fabric to drape perfectly, and it acts as a protective layer, ensuring the baby's comfort and preventing any undergarments from showing through the sheer fabric of the gown.
Q: What material is the Short Christening Slip made from?
A: Our Short Christening Slip is crafted from 100% pure cotton. This natural, breathable material is chosen specifically for its softness against a baby's sensitive skin, ensuring maximum comfort throughout the ceremony.
Q: How should I care for the christening slip?
A: To preserve the quality of the cotton, we recommend professional dry cleaning. Alternatively, you can hand wash it gently in cool water (30°C or below) using a mild, non-bleaching detergent. Always air dry flat and iron on a medium-to-high heat setting with steam, testing on an inner seam first.
Q: How do I choose the correct size for my baby?
A: The slip is available in Nordic sizes S (3-6 Months) and M (6-9 Months). Nordic sizing tends to be generous, so if your baby is between sizes or you are in doubt, we recommend choosing the smaller size for the best fit under the gown.
