Bologna Doopjurk

Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship

The design is a nod to timeless elegance, featuring a full-length silhouette and delicate long sleeves. The crisp, white linen drapes beautifully, giving the gown a graceful and ethereal appearance. The traditional sailor collar, framed by the subtle hand-stitched detailing, offers a charming and classic aesthetic that suits both baby boys and girls. This commitment to quality and classic style reflects the gown's Danish design heritage, ensuring a piece that is both beautiful and enduring.

Sizing, Fit, and Comfort

For a perfect fit, the Bologna Gown is offered in Nordic sizing: Small (3-6 Months), Medium (6-9 Months), and Large (9-12 Months). Nordic sizing tends to be generous, providing a comfortable and non-restrictive fit for your baby. If your child is between sizes, it is recommended to select the smaller size for the best drape. The natural linen fabric is soft against delicate skin, and the loose, flowing cut ensures ease of movement and comfort for the baby during the ceremony.

Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories

To complete the ceremonial look, the Bologna Gown pairs beautifully with complementary accessories. Consider adding the matching Bologna Bonnet for a traditional head covering, or a White Christening Slip underneath for added volume and modesty. The gown is often styled with a decorative bow, which can be chosen in a variety of colors (such as Smoke Blue or Royal) to personalize the outfit or match a family theme.

Care Instructions and Preservation

As an heirloom piece, the Bologna Christening Gown requires thoughtful care to ensure its preservation for future generations. Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the delicate embroidery and linen fibers. For home care, use a very mild detergent and wash at a low temperature (30°C or below). Never use bleach or fabric softeners. After cleaning, air dry flat away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage, wrap the gown in acid-free tissue paper and place it in a non-airtight, acid-free storage box or cotton garment bag. This careful preservation is what makes the Bologna Gown truly special—it is not just an outfit for a single day, but a treasured piece of family history to be passed down and celebrated.
