Arles Robe de baptême

Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship

Crafted from 100% fine cotton, the Arles gown offers unparalleled softness and breathability, making it the ideal choice for a long ceremony. The fabric is fully lined for maximum comfort against your baby's delicate skin. The design features long sleeves and a flowing skirt, approximately 95-100 cm in length, creating a traditional and graceful silhouette. The true highlight is the elegant lace detailing adorning the chest piece, meticulously applied to add a touch of sophisticated charm and artistry. This attention to detail reflects the high standard of Danish craftsmanship, ensuring a garment that is as durable as it is beautiful.

Sizing, Fit, and Comfort

Understanding that comfort is paramount, the Arles gown is designed with a relaxed fit. Our sizing follows Nordic standards, which typically means the gowns run a bit large. For the best fit, we advise customers to choose the smaller size if you are in doubt or if your baby is between sizes. Available in sizes from XS (1-3 Months) up to L (9-12 Months), the soft cotton and full lining work together to prevent irritation, allowing your baby to remain happy and comfortable throughout the celebration.

Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories

The Arles Christening Gown is a stunning piece on its own, but it can be beautifully complemented with coordinating accessories to complete the ensemble. We highly recommend the matching Arles Bonnet for a traditional look. To introduce a subtle pop of color or a personalized touch, consider adding one of our satin bows, available in shades like Antique White, Blue Bell, or Rose Pink. For a perfect drape, a petticoat can be worn underneath, and our christening bibs are a practical addition to protect the gown during feeding.

Care Instructions and Preservation

A christening gown is meant to be preserved. For cleaning, professional dry cleaning is recommended to protect the delicate lace and fine cotton. 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. Air dry the gown flat on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight. To store it as a family heirloom, wrap and stuff it with acid-free tissue paper and place it in a non-airtight, acid-free storage box or cotton garment bag. This careful preservation will ensure the Arles gown remains pristine for generations to come.

Why This Gown is Special

The Arles Christening Gown is special because it perfectly balances timeless tradition with modern comfort. It is a high-quality, 100% cotton garment designed to honor a sacred tradition while prioritizing the baby's well-being. It is an investment in a beautiful memory, a tangible piece of family history that will be cherished and passed down, making it the ideal choice for your baby's most important day.
