Anna Dress

Baptismal or ceremonial gown for baby or child, entirely made of fine lace, such as that traditionally used for bridal veils. The short sleeves of the bodice are made of transparent lace gathered by a satin ribbon. The dress is closed at the back with fabric-covered buttons and lined with cotton. An optional colored belt can be added for weddings. The lace color is natural white, a light off-white.

Handmade in the Fil de Légende workshop in Neuilly-sur-Seine.

During high season, it is advisable to reserve custom-made dresses well in advance. Lead times in spring and summer can be up to 8 weeks. As your child's size may change during the two or three months preceding the ceremony, you can place your order well in advance by indicating the clothing size that should fit your child on the day of the ceremony. Then, one month before the baptism, you can provide the child's measurements by phone or email for the final size selection.

In this case, it is necessary to specify the date of the ceremony and the fact that the final size will be chosen approximately 1 month before the ceremony, in your order and in the dedicated box. Otherwise, the standard size selected when you place your order will be used.

The following measurements are necessary if you wish to provide them:

• Child's age
• Height in cm from the top of the head to the soles of the feet as given by the pediatrician at the last visit, if recent
• Chest circumference: measurement to be taken without clothing, directly on the skin, with a tape measure. Measure all around the chest, passing under the arms. Do not add any extra centimeters for ease.
• Waist circumference: measurement to be taken without clothing, directly on the skin, with a tape measure. Measure all around the waist a little above the navel, as the bodice does not go down to the navel.
