Design, Fabric, and Craftsmanship

The Nimes dress features a classic silhouette with long sleeves and a comfortable lining, ensuring a gentle feel against your baby's delicate skin. The primary material is 100% fine cotton, chosen for its superior breathability, softness, and natural quality. This pure cotton composition is vital for keeping your baby comfortable throughout the ceremony. The design is elevated by the intricate detailing: the hand embroidery adds a bespoke, personal touch, while the fine lace trim provides a delicate finish to the cuffs and hem. The dress is a short style, measuring approximately 70-80 cm in length, which offers a practical and comfortable alternative to longer gowns, allowing for easier movement and handling.

Sizing, Fit, and Comfort

Oli Prik's christening wear follows Nordic sizing, which tends to run slightly larger than standard. The Nimes dress is available in sizes ranging from XS (1-3 Months) to L (9-12 Months). For the best fit, the brand recommends choosing the smaller size if you are in doubt, ensuring the gown drapes beautifully without overwhelming your baby. The soft cotton material and full lining are specifically chosen to maximize comfort, preventing irritation and allowing your baby to enjoy their special day without fuss. The long sleeves provide warmth and a traditional look, while the short length ensures the baby is not tangled in excess fabric.

Styling Suggestions and Complementary Accessories

To complete the ceremonial look, the Nimes Christening Dress pairs beautifully with several complementary accessories. The matching Nimes Bonnet is highly recommended to frame your baby's face and add a final touch of traditional charm. For a fuller, more voluminous look, consider adding a Short Christening Slip underneath. You can also personalize the gown with a colored ribbon bow—such as the "Wild Rose" or "Blue Bird" options mentioned by the brand—which can be added separately to match your chosen theme or gender. The simplicity of the white cotton provides a perfect canvas for any accessory you choose.

Care Instructions and Preservation

As an heirloom piece, thoughtful care is essential for the Nimes Christening Dress. Professional dry cleaning is the safest and most recommended method to protect the delicate lace and embroidery. 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 fine cotton and cause discoloration. The gown should be air-dried flat, away from direct sunlight. For long-term preservation, it is highly recommended to store the dress in an acid-free storage box or cotton garment bag (like the optional Storage Set) with acid-free tissue paper to prevent yellowing and maintain its shape, ensuring it is ready for the next generation.
