Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship
Crafted from 100% fine double cotton, the Gentofte gown prioritizes your baby's comfort. This premium fabric is soft, breathable, and gentle against delicate skin, allowing for a comfortable experience throughout the ceremony. The design features elegant long sleeves and a full lining, providing a beautiful drape and a smooth, luxurious feel. The gown’s most striking features are the lovely hand embroidery adorning the chest piece and the delicate lace that graces the sleeves and the hem of the skirt. These traditional elements showcase superior craftsmanship and a timeless aesthetic.
Sizing, Fit, and Comfort
Designed with a traditional, full-length cut, the gown measures approximately 90-95 cm in length. Oli Prik's christening wear follows Nordic sizing, which tends to be slightly generous. For the perfect fit, we advise choosing the smaller size if your baby is between sizes. The comfortable fit allows for easy movement, which is essential for a happy baby on their special day.
Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories
To complete the ensemble, the Gentofte gown pairs beautifully with complementary accessories. Consider adding the matching Gentofte Christening Bonnet and a colored ribbon bow, such as the Light Navy shown in the product image, to personalize the look. A simple, white christening slip can be worn underneath for added volume and modesty.
Care and Preservation Instructions
Proper care is vital to preserving this beautiful garment. We recommend storing the gown in a garment bag with a baby hanger, ideally using the discounted storage set available, to protect the delicate fabric and embroidery from dust and light. This careful preservation ensures the gown remains in pristine condition, ready to be passed down as a cherished family heirloom.
The Gentofte Christening Gown is more than just an outfit; it is a symbol of a momentous occasion, designed with love and the enduring quality of Danish tradition.
