Doopgewaad Londen

Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship

This stunning robe is constructed with a luxurious two-layer system. The outer layer is a delicate, flowing embroidered organza, featuring subtle, intricate detailing that adds a touch of ethereal beauty. Beneath this is a dual lining of soft satin and cotton. This thoughtful combination ensures the gown maintains its elegant structure while providing a gentle, breathable feel against your baby's sensitive skin. The long sleeves and generous length, measuring approximately 125-130 cm, create a truly majestic and traditional silhouette, making every photograph a treasured memory. The craftsmanship is meticulous, focusing on fine stitching and durable materials to ensure the gown can be preserved and passed down through generations.

Sizing, Fit, and Comfort

Oli Prik's christening wear utilizes Nordic sizing, which is typically a bit larger than standard. This design choice prioritizes a comfortable, non-restrictive fit for your baby. The inner cotton and satin lining is key to the gown's comfort, preventing any scratchiness from the outer organza layer. The robe is available in sizes ranging from XS (1-3 Months) up to L (9-12 Months). If you are in doubt between sizes, the brand recommends choosing the smaller size for the best fit. The design allows for easy dressing and ensures the baby remains comfortable throughout the ceremony.

Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories

The London Christening Robe is a beautiful canvas for personalization. While the robe itself is a complete statement, you can enhance the look with complementary accessories. The matching London Bonnet is highly recommended to complete the traditional ensemble. For a touch of color, the robe is often styled with ribbon bows in shades like Amethyst or Blue Bird, which can be added separately to match a theme or personal preference. To ensure the gown's longevity, consider adding the Storage Set, which includes a baby hanger and a cotton garment bag, essential for beautiful and safe preservation.

Care Instructions

To maintain the heirloom quality of your London Christening Robe, thoughtful care is essential. Professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended for the best results. If you choose to wash it at home, use a very mild detergent and wash at a low temperature (30°C or below). Crucially, never use bleach, stain removers, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the delicate fabrics. Air dry the gown flat on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight. For long-term preservation, wrap the gown in acid-free tissue paper and store it in a non-airtight, acid-free box or cotton garment bag, avoiding areas with extreme temperature or humidity fluctuations.

Its combination of elegant embroidered organza, comfortable dual lining, and traditional Nordic design sets it apart. It offers a classic, sophisticated look that honors the significance of the occasion, providing a beautiful memory that can be treasured and passed down for generations to come.
