The Clara - Heirloom Christening Gown

The Clara is an exquisite heirloom christening gown created for one of life’s most treasured ceremonies. Romantic, traditional, and beautifully detailed, this gown is designed to become a keepsake worthy of passing from one generation to the next.

Crafted from luxurious silk and hand-embroidered beaded corded lace, The Clara features delicate dimensional embroidery throughout the bodice and generously full skirt. The intricate lace catches the light beautifully, revealing the craftsmanship and texture of the gown in both portraits and ceremony photographs.

The softly structured bodice is complemented by elegant puff sleeves finished with lace detailing. An attached crinoline creates the graceful fullness and traditional christening silhouette while allowing the embroidered lace to fall beautifully over the silk beneath.

The back is designed with an open heirloom-style construction and two individually hand-sewn buttons, adding another couture finishing detail.

A coordinating handcrafted bonnet completes The Clara ensemble, echoing the delicate lacework of the gown for a timeless head-to-toe presentation.
