Célestine dress

Pretty short christening or special occasion dress for baby in off-white Dupioni silk.

V-neck bodice trimmed with Italian lace. Small flat bow sewn on the front of the bodice. 3/4 sleeves with ruffled edges. Skirt with overskirt trimmed with lace on the sides. French silk, Italian lace.

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 dresses long 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 long 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 definitive size.

In this case, it is necessary to specify the date of the ceremony and the fact that the definitive 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, provided by the pediatrician at the last visit if it was recent
• Chest circumference: measure without clothes 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.
• Waist circumference: measure without clothes 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.
