Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship
The design is a testament to timeless craftsmanship. The gown features long sleeves and a full-length skirt, giving it a traditional and formal silhouette. Beneath the linen exterior, a thin cotton lining is included to provide a soft, gentle layer against your baby’s skin, ensuring they remain comfortable throughout the event. The intricate hand embroidery is a focal point, adding texture and a touch of artisanal luxury that speaks to the gown's premium quality and Danish design heritage. While the gown is a vision in pure white linen, it can be personalized with a ribbon bow (such as the Carmandy or Blue Bell options shown in images) for a subtle pop of color, though these are sold separately.
Sizing, Fit, and Comfort
Sizing for the Firenze Gown follows Nordic standards, which tend to be generous. The gown is available in sizes such as S (3-6 Months), M (6-9 Months), and L (9-12 Months). The approximate length is 95-100 cm, creating a beautiful, flowing effect. For the best fit, it is recommended to consult the full size guide, and if your baby is between sizes, choosing the smaller size is often advised due to the roomy Nordic fit. The natural linen fabric and soft cotton lining ensure a comfortable, non-restrictive fit, allowing your baby to move freely and happily on their special day.
Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories
To complete the ensemble, consider pairing the gown with the matching Firenze Bonnet and a soft Christening Bib.
Care Instructions and Preservation
For long-term preservation, the Storage Set, which includes a garment bag and hanger, is highly recommended. This gown is more than just an outfit; it is a piece of family history. With thoughtful care, it can be treasured and passed down for generations. Due to the delicate nature of the linen and the hand embroidery, it is highly recommended to have the gown professionally dry-cleaned. If hand-washing is necessary, use a very mild, pH-neutral detergent in cold water, rinse thoroughly, and always air dry flat away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the fabric and embroidery.
