Antwerpen Christening Gown

Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship

The gown features a sophisticated three-layer construction for a beautiful drape and feel. The outer layer is a premium, silk-like mixed fabric that provides a stunning sheen and soft texture. Beneath this, a middle lining of polyester ensures the gown holds its shape, while the inner lining is made of soft, breathable cotton to sit gently against your baby's delicate skin. The gown measures approximately 100-105 cm in length, creating a classic, full-length silhouette. The meticulous craftsmanship ensures every detail, from the gentle gathering to the finished seams, meets the highest standard of premium quality.

Sizing, Fit, and Comfort

Oli Prik uses Nordic sizing, which tends to run slightly larger than standard. For the perfect fit, we recommend choosing the smaller size if you are in doubt between two options. The cotton inner lining is key to the gown's comfort, providing a soft, non-irritating layer. The long sleeves offer warmth and a traditional aesthetic, ensuring your baby is comfortable throughout the ceremony.

Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories

The Antwerpen Gown is a beautiful canvas for personalization. It is designed to be paired with a matching Antwerpen Bonnet or Hat, which can be added separately to complete the look. For a touch of color, the gown can be styled with a ribbon bow—such as the French Blue or Powder Pink options—which are also available separately. We highly recommend adding our Storage Set (garment bag and hanger) to ensure the gown is beautifully and safely preserved as a keepsake.

Care Instructions

As a delicate heirloom, the Antwerpen Gown requires thoughtful care. Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the delicate fabrics. 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 fabric softeners. The gown should be air-dried flat, away from direct sunlight, and completely dry before storage. For long-term preservation, store the gown in a non-airtight, acid-free box or a cotton garment bag, wrapped in acid-free tissue paper to prevent yellowing and creasing.
