Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship
Crafted from 100% soft cotton, the Dijon gown prioritizes your baby's comfort. The natural cotton material is gentle against delicate skin, breathable, and features a full lining for an extra layer of softness. The long sleeves offer a classic, modest look while providing warmth and comfort. With a length of approximately 95-100 cm, the gown drapes beautifully, creating a stunning silhouette for photos and the ceremony.
Sizing, Fit, and Comfort
The gown is designed with Nordic sizing, which tends to be slightly generous. For the perfect fit, Oli Prik recommends choosing the smaller size if you are in doubt. This ensures the gown fits comfortably and securely on your little one. The simple, round neckline and easy-to-manage design make dressing and undressing a smooth process.
Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories
To complete the ensemble, consider pairing the Dijon gown with the matching Dijon Bonnet for a coordinated, traditional look. Other complementary accessories include the White Christening Slip for added volume and the Christening Bib for protection during post-ceremony celebrations. The gown's pure white color and classic design allow for versatile styling with ribbon bows in various colors, such as Amethyst or French Blue, to personalize the look.
Care and Preservation Instructions
Caring for this heirloom piece is simple yet crucial for its preservation. The 100% cotton material requires gentle handling. It is highly recommended to purchase the discounted Storage Set, which includes a garment bag and baby hanger, to ensure beautiful and safe long-term storage. Proper preservation will allow the gown to be cherished and potentially passed down through generations.
