Cassis Robe de baptême

Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship

Crafted from 100% pure white silk, the Cassis Christening Dress offers a soft, luminous drape that is both luxurious and gentle against a baby's sensitive skin. The gown is fully lined with soft cotton, providing an extra layer of comfort and breathability. The design is a short-length style, measuring approximately 70-80 cm, which allows for easier movement and handling. The true artistry lies in the details: the dress features delicate hand embroidery on the chest piece and skirt, a testament to superior craftsmanship. Long sleeves are finished with beautiful lace detailing, which is also mirrored on the skirt, adding a subtle, classic texture to the gown. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that every Cassis dress is a unique and cherished garment.

Sizing, Fit, and Comfort

Oli Prik's christening wear follows Nordic sizing, which is known for being slightly generous. This is a deliberate design choice to prioritize the baby's comfort and ensure an easy, relaxed fit. The dress is available in sizes XS (1-3 Months), S (3-6 Months), and M (6-9 Months). The brand advises customers that if they are in doubt between two sizes, they should choose the smaller size due to the generous cut. The combination of the soft silk exterior and the cotton lining ensures maximum comfort, allowing your baby to enjoy their special day without irritation.

Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories

The Cassis Christening Dress is a stunning piece on its own, but it can be beautifully complemented with Oli Prik's range of accessories. The matching Cassis Bonnet is the perfect finishing touch, echoing the gown's delicate design. For a complete and thoughtful presentation, consider adding the Storage Set, which includes a baby hanger and a garment bag, ideal for preserving the gown. A Christening Bib is also available, a practical and decorative addition for the ceremony. The dress is pictured with a ribbon bow (such as the Blue Bird ribbon), which can be purchased separately, allowing you to customize the look with a touch of color.

Care and Preservation Instructions

Given the delicate nature of silk and the heirloom quality of the gown, proper care is essential. Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and embroidery. If you choose to wash it at home, use a very mild detergent and wash at a low temperature (30°C or below). Never use bleach, stain removers, or fabric softeners. The gown should be air-dried flat on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight. For long-term preservation, which is crucial for an heirloom, the gown should be wrapped in acid-free tissue paper and stored in a non-airtight, acid-free box or cotton garment bag to protect it from light, dust, and moisture.

Why This Gown is Special

The Cassis Christening Dress is more than just an outfit; it is a future family heirloom. Its unique blend of premium silk, hand-finished embroidery, and Danish design sets it apart. It is a piece designed not just for one day, but to be a cherished part of your family's history, passed down with love and care through generations. Choosing the Cassis dress means investing in a timeless tradition of quality and elegance.
