The Rachel Christening Gown is a handcrafted heirloom piece made from 100% luxury silk dupion and Venice lace. With its sweeping skirt and classic detailing, it's the perfect gown for christenings, baptisms, and blessing ceremonies.

Timeless Elegance and Practicality

Make her milestone moment unforgettable with a gown designed to be passed down through generations. The Rachel Christening Gown pairs our classic bodice design with a long, traditional skirt. Available in your choice of Ivory or Silk White, every detail is thoughtfully designed for a flawless silhouette and ease of use.

Venice lace frill sleeves frame the shoulders. To make handling and holding your baby easier during the ceremony, the back skirt is left open, while the bodice is securely fastened with traditional silk-covered buttons and loop fastenings.

(Please note: Price is for the gown only. A matching bonnet is available as an optional extra).

Quick Answers 

What occasions is the Rachel Gown best suited for? This long-length gown is designed for traditional religious milestones, including christenings, baptisms, baby naming ceremonies, and blessing ceremonies.

Is the gown easy to handle during the ceremony? Yes. The back skirt is left completely open to make holding and carrying your baby much easier, while the bodice stays secure with silk loops and hand-covered buttons.

What is the difference between the Rachel Dress and the Rachel Gown? The Rachel Dress features a standard, shorter dress length suitable for parties and flower girl duties, (or if you'd just prefer a shorter length dress) while the Rachel Gown features a longer, sweeping skirt designed specifically for baptism and christening ceremonies.

How do I care for the Rachel Christening Gown? Because this gown is crafted from 100% natural silk dupion and delicate Venice lace, we recommend gentle dry cleaning only to preserve its quality for future generations.

Is the matching bonnet included? The bonnet is not included in the base price, but it can be added to your order as an optional extra to complete the look.
