Clémence short dress

Short christening gown in off-white Dupioni silk. Bodice with a V-neckline edged with Italian lace. Small flat bow sewn on the front of the bodice. 3/4 sleeves with ruffled edges.

You can change the sleeve type if you wish (short sleeves for summer, for example)

During high season, it is best to book the making of custom-made gowns 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 christening, you can communicate the child's measurements by phone or email to choose the final size.

In this case, it is necessary to specify when ordering and in the designated section, the date of the ceremony and that the final size will be chosen approximately 1 month before the ceremony. 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 cm for ease.
• Belly circumference: measurement to be taken without clothing, directly on the skin with a tape measure. Measure all around the belly slightly above the navel, as the bodice does not extend to the navel.
