Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship
The design of the Monaco gown is a celebration of classic christening attire. It features short, gently puffed sleeves and a long, flowing skirt that measures approximately 80-85 cm in length, creating a stunning, traditional silhouette. The skirt is further enhanced with a delicate lace trim, adding a layer of timeless sophistication. The gown's simple yet elegant cut is a hallmark of Danish design, emphasizing quality and understated beauty. While the gown is shown with a Rose Pink ribbon bow, this is an optional accessory, allowing you to customize the look with a ribbon color of your choice.
Sizing, Fit, and Comfort
Oli Prik’s christening wear follows Nordic sizing, which typically runs a bit large. The Monaco gown is available in sizes S (3-6 Months) and M (6-9 Months). We advise selecting the smaller size if your baby is between sizes to ensure the best possible fit. The cotton lining ensures a comfortable fit, allowing your baby to move freely and remain content throughout the ceremony.
Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories
For a complete, coordinated look, consider pairing the gown with the matching Monaco Bonnet and a Christening Bib. The gown is often styled with a ribbon bow, which can be purchased separately to add a personal touch of color.
Care and Preservation Instructions
To maintain the gown's pristine condition and preserve its heirloom quality, we recommend professional dry cleaning. For long-term storage, it is highly advisable to use a dedicated garment bag and hanger, which are available separately. This ensures the silk and delicate embroidery are protected from dust and damage, allowing the Monaco Christening Gown to be safely passed down and treasured by future generations.
