Sandnes Doopjurk

Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship

Crafted from a luxurious and breathable blend of 55% linen and 45% cotton, the Sandnes gown offers a soft, natural texture and a beautiful, flowing drape. The use of this natural fiber blend ensures maximum comfort, keeping your baby cool and content throughout the ceremony. The gown features a pure white color, symbolizing purity and new beginnings. The true highlight is the fine hand embroidery meticulously applied to the chest piece and the flowing skirt. This delicate detail showcases superior craftsmanship and adds a layer of sophisticated texture to the classic design. The gown is finished with short, slightly puffed sleeves and a double-layered thin cotton lining that provides a soft barrier against the baby's skin, eliminating any potential irritation.

Sizing, Fit, and Comfort

Oli Prik's christening wear adheres to Nordic sizing, which is known for being slightly more generous than standard international sizes. This ensures a comfortable, non-restrictive fit for your baby. The gown is available in sizes such as S (3-6 Months) and M (6-9 Months). For the best fit, we advise consulting the size guide and, if your baby is between sizes, opting for the smaller size to ensure the best drape and fit. The loose, full-length cut, measuring approximately 95-100 cm, allows for freedom of movement while maintaining a traditional, formal silhouette.

Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories

The Sandnes Christening Gown's classic white design provides a perfect canvas for personalization. While the gown itself is a statement of simple elegance, you can complete the look with a range of complementary accessories. A matching Sandnes Bonnet is available separately to frame your baby's face beautifully. To add a pop of color or a personal touch, consider adding a ribbon bow in shades like Wild Rose or Light Navy, which are easily attached to the waistline. For a complete, traditional ensemble, pair the gown with the White Christening Slip and a Christening Bib.

Care Instructions and Preservation

To ensure the Sandnes gown remains pristine for years to come, proper care is essential. We recommend hand-washing the gown with a mild detergent or having it professionally dry-cleaned. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine drying. For long-term preservation, which is crucial for an heirloom piece, store the gown in a cool, dry place, ideally within a breathable garment bag and on a baby hanger. A dedicated Storage Set is available to purchase, providing the ideal environment for preservation.

Why This Gown is Special

The Sandnes Christening Gown is special because it perfectly balances heirloom quality with modern wearability. It honors the tradition of the christening ceremony with its classic length and hand embroidery, while the linen-cotton blend ensures the baby's comfort is prioritized. Designed in Denmark, it embodies a clean, timeless aesthetic that will look beautiful in photographs and remain a treasured family possession for generations. It is the ideal choice for parents seeking a high-quality, comfortable, and exquisitely detailed gown for their child's baptism or christening.
