Cannes Doopjurk

Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship

The design of the Cannes gown is rooted in classic, enduring aesthetics. It features traditional long sleeves, which are beautifully finished with fine lace detailing that is mirrored along the hem of the skirt. The bodice is subtly pleated, drawing the eye to the central panel of hand embroidery. This attention to detail elevates the gown from a simple dress to a cherished heirloom. With a generous length of approximately 90-100 cm, the gown creates a stunning, flowing silhouette that is perfectly suited for a formal christening or baptism. The off-white hue is a soft, traditional color that photographs beautifully and symbolizes purity and new beginnings.

Sizing, Fit, and Comfort

Understanding the importance of a perfect fit, the Cannes Christening Gown is available in Nordic sizing. It is important to note that Nordic sizes are typically a bit larger than standard sizing, a feature that contributes to the gown's comfortable, flowing fit. We recommend consulting the detailed size guide and, if your baby is between sizes, opting for the smaller size to ensure the best possible drape and fit. The gown’s design prioritizes ease of wear, allowing for simple dressing and undressing.

Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories

To complete the ensemble, the Cannes Christening Gown pairs beautifully with several complementary accessories. The matching Cannes Bonnet is the ideal finishing touch, echoing the gown's silk and lace details. For a pop of color or a personalized touch, you can add a ribbon bow in shades like Antique White or Victorian Rose, which are shown in the product images. Additionally, the Christening Bib and Off-white Christening Slip are recommended to protect the gown and enhance its shape.

Care Instructions and Preservation

Caring for this precious garment is essential for its preservation. Due to the delicate nature of the silk and the hand embroidery, we advise professional dry cleaning only. To ensure the gown remains a beautiful keepsake for generations, we highly recommend the optional Storage Set, which includes a specialized garment bag and hanger. This set provides a safe, breathable environment for the gown, protecting it from light, dust, and damage.
