Madeline — Silk Christening Gown
The Madeline gown is a study in structured elegance, crafted from luxurious ivory silk for a smooth, substantial drape. A metallic corded lace adorns the collar, cuffs, and bodice panel, its silvery scrollwork edged in delicate scalloped trim and studded with pearls and sparkling crystal accents for a subtle heirloom shimmer. Puffed short sleeves are finished with a strand of hand-strung pearls at the cuff, echoed again at the empire waist, where a continuous pearl trim gathers the gown's full silk skirt.
The skirt opens at center front in an elegant apron-style overlay, its two silk panels trimmed edge to edge in the same lace and pearl detailing and parting to reveal a softly embroidered lace inset beneath — a refined, layered silhouette that moves beautifully with the child. Covered button closures finish the back, framed by the same lace-trimmed collar.
The coordinating bonnet mirrors the gown's silver-corded lace and pearl edging, gathered into a soft, rounded shape finished with a satin ribbon tie — a polished final touch to a truly elevated christening ensemble.
Made in the USA. Part of the Piccolo Bacio couture collection.
