Don't worry too much about the size you choose, we're more than happy to help find the perfect fit. If you'd rather go ahead yourself, we always recommend sizing up if your baby falls between sizes or if the event is more than a few weeks away. Babies grow quickly, and a slightly roomier formal outfit is much more comfortable for them than one that is too snug. For the perfect fit, we highly suggest going by your baby's current chest measurement rather than just their age. You can view our detailed measurement guide. If you are still unsure, send us a message—we love helping parents find the perfect fit!

It mostly comes down to personal preference and family tradition! Some people are very definite that they would like white but our most popular colourway is Ivory. It's a little bit softer and kinder to most skin tones. Please bear in mind that silk white is never a stark white, silk can't be bleached so it stays a slightly off white. Our cotton white is pure white.

Tip: If you are buying accessories like bonnets, booties, or shawls, we recommend purchasing them from the same collection to ensure an exact fabric colour match.

Absolutely. We know that a crying, uncomfortable baby is the last thing you want on a special day. That is why we design our outfits with a "beauty on the outside, comfort on the inside" philosophy. All of our silk items are lined with silky soft dress lining and we ensure that scratchy tulle, stiff lace, and raw seams never come into direct contact with your baby's skin.

Our cotton items are lined in cotton. If you would prefer to have your silk gown lined in cotton, that's no problem at all, just let us know.

Yes, we can absolutely close the back if you prefer but we started doing this out of years of research. This is the traditional way that christening gowns were made as it makes handling baby in a potentially slippy gown a lot easier. You can pop your hand under baby's bottom when you carry them and the gown flows down over your arm without bunching up.

If you'd prefer the gown closed at the back, just ask. As all our gowns are handmade to order, it's no problem to have it made to your preference.

To preserve your outfit as a family heirloom, we recommend having it gently dry cleaned or hand-washed (cotton only) as soon as possible after the event to prevent invisible stains (like breast milk, formula or drool) from setting. Never store heirloom clothing in plastic bags, as this traps moisture and causes yellowing.
