Bristol Robe de baptême

Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship

The design of the Bristol dress is centered on sophisticated simplicity and comfort. The gown features a stunning outer layer of embroidered organza, which provides a subtle shimmer and intricate detail without being overly ornate. Beneath this beautiful exterior, the dress is thoughtfully constructed with two full layers of lining: a smooth satin lining for a beautiful drape and a soft cotton lining that rests gently against your baby's delicate skin. This dual-lining approach ensures maximum comfort throughout the ceremony, a hallmark of the premium quality associated with Oli Prik Copenhagen. The long sleeves add a touch of classic modesty, making it suitable for any season. The overall length of the gown is approximately 75-80 cm, a perfect short length that allows for easier handling of the baby while still maintaining a formal appearance.

Sizing, Fit, and Comfort

When considering the fit, the Bristol Christening Dress is designed with Nordic sizing, which typically means the garments run a bit large. This generous cut ensures a comfortable and non-restrictive fit for your little one. The available sizes range from XS (1-3 Months) to M (6-9 Months). For parents who are unsure between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the smaller size to ensure the best possible fit. The soft cotton lining is key to the gown's comfort, preventing any irritation and allowing the baby to move freely during the event.

Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories

To complete the perfect christening ensemble, the Bristol dress pairs beautifully with several complementary accessories. The Bristol Bonnet, featuring matching embroidered organza, is the ideal headwear to complete the traditional look. Other recommended accessories include the soft Christening Bib for protection during post-ceremony celebrations and the Storage Set (garment bag and hanger). The storage set is highly recommended for the beautiful and safe preservation of the gown, ensuring it remains pristine for future generations.

Care Instructions and Preservation

Caring for this precious garment is straightforward but requires attention to detail to maintain its beauty. The dress is made from mixed fabrics, and gentle care is essential. It is recommended to follow the specific care instructions provided with the gown, typically involving delicate hand washing or professional dry cleaning. For long-term preservation, storing the dress in the dedicated Storage Set will protect it from light, dust, and environmental factors.

Why This Gown is Special

The Bristol Christening Dress is truly special because it embodies the Danish design philosophy—a focus on quality, functionality, and timeless aesthetics. It is a piece of clothing that respects the solemnity of the occasion while prioritizing the baby's comfort. It is more than just a dress; it is a beautifully crafted memory waiting to be made, designed to be passed down and cherished as a symbol of a sacred family milestone.
