Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship
Crafted from 100% pure white silk, the Saint Gown boasts a stunning drape and a soft, ethereal glow. The silk exterior is fully lined with a gentle cotton fabric, prioritizing your baby's comfort throughout the ceremony. The gown features elegant long sleeves and a flowing skirt, measuring approximately 90-100 cm in length. The true artistry is found in the details: delicate hand embroidery graces the chest piece and the skirt, complemented by fine lace detailing on the sleeves and skirt hem. This premium quality construction reflects the best of Nordic design, creating a garment worthy of being passed down through generations.
Sizing, Fit, and Comfort
Designed with your baby's comfort in mind, the Saint Christening Gown is available in three sizes: S (3-6 Months), M (6-9 Months), and L (9-12 Months). Please note that our christening wear uses Nordic sizing and is typically cut to be slightly generous. For the best fit, we advise selecting the smaller size if your baby is between sizes. The soft cotton lining ensures the delicate silk and embroidery do not irritate your baby's skin, allowing them to remain comfortable and content throughout the event.
Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories
The Saint Gown is a complete statement piece on its own, but it can be beautifully enhanced with complementary accessories. We recommend pairing it with the Saint Bonnet for a traditional look. For added volume and comfort, consider the White Christening Slip. A separate white ribbon bow can be added to the waist for a final touch of elegance. To ensure the gown remains pristine, we also offer a discounted Storage Set, including a baby hanger and garment bag, for beautiful and safe preservation.
Care and Preservation Instructions
As an heirloom, the Saint Christening Gown requires thoughtful care to ensure its longevity. Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the delicate silk, lace, and hand embroidery. If you choose to wash at home, use a very mild detergent and wash at a low temperature (30°C or below). Never use bleach or stain removers. After cleaning, ensure the gown is completely dry before storing. For long-term preservation, wrap the gown in acid-free tissue paper and store it in a non-airtight, acid-free box or cotton garment bag, away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity.
Why This Gown is Special
The Saint Christening Gown is more than just an outfit; it is a piece of family history. Its combination of pure silk, hand-stitched details, and Danish design elevates it beyond ordinary christening wear. It represents a commitment to quality and tradition, offering a timeless garment that will connect generations of your family on their most sacred days.
