Klampenborg Christening Gown

Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Klampenborg gown features a classic, full-length silhouette, measuring approximately 80-85 cm. The pure white cotton fabric is fully lined, providing a smooth, gentle layer against your baby's skin and ensuring the gown drapes beautifully. The short sleeves offer a comfortable fit, perfect for christenings held in any season. The artistry of the hand embroidery elevates the gown, showcasing a commitment to traditional craftsmanship that is a hallmark of Oli Prik Copenhagen's Danish heritage. Every stitch is a testament to the quality and care invested in this heirloom piece.

Sizing, Fit, and Comfort

Understanding that comfort is paramount for your baby, the Klampenborg gown is designed with a relaxed fit. Our sizing follows Nordic standards, which typically run a bit large. For the best fit, we recommend consulting our size guide and, if your baby is between sizes, choosing the smaller option to ensure a perfect drape. The 100% cotton material is naturally soft and breathable, preventing overheating and ensuring your baby remains content throughout the ceremony.

Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories

To complete the traditional christening ensemble, the Klampenborg gown pairs beautifully with a range of accessories. We highly recommend the matching Klampenborg Bonnet, which features complementary embroidery and lace details. For added volume and shape, consider a white christening slip. Practical accessories like the Christening Bib and a decorative ribbon bow, such as the Blue Bell (sold separately), can add a personalized touch. To ensure the gown remains pristine for years to come, we also offer a discounted Storage Set, including a garment bag and hanger, essential for beautiful and safe preservation.

Care and Preservation Instructions

As an heirloom, this gown requires thoughtful care to maintain its beauty. Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the delicate embroidery and fabric. If you choose to wash at home, use a very mild detergent and wash at a low temperature (30°C or below). Never use bleach or fabric softeners. The gown should be air-dried flat, away from direct sunlight. For storage, wrap and stuff the gown with acid-free tissue paper and place it in a non-airtight, acid-free box or cotton garment bag, ensuring it is kept in a stable, cool environment.
