Carmela — White Silk Christening Gown
Timeless and heirloom-worthy, the Carmela gown is crafted in luxurious white silk, designed to be treasured for generations. The bodice is adorned with intricately corded lace appliqué, hand-beaded with delicate pearls in a rich floral motif that continues down the front panel and cascades into a dramatic scalloped hem. Short, puffed silk sleeves echo the same lace and pearl detailing at the cuffs, adding a soft, romantic finish.
At the natural waistline, a handcrafted silk flower with a pearl-centered stamen anchors the design, with flowing satin ribbon streamers trailing gracefully down the skirt. The full silk skirt falls into a graceful, sweeping silhouette, finished with a wide lace border embroidered with the same floral and pearl embellishments found on the bodice, creating a beautifully cohesive design from neckline to hem.
The coordinating bonnet mirrors the gown's craftsmanship, featuring matching lace appliqué, pearl beading, and a soft satin bow tie, completing this exquisite christening ensemble.
Made in the USA. Part of the Piccolo Bacio couture collection.
