Among those presently using such a gown are the royal families of the United Kingdom, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and Sweden.

The original gown was created for the christening of Victoria, Princess Royal, in 1841 and was used by the family until 2004, when it was retired for conservation.

[3] It was made of Honiton lace and Spitalfields silk, and was fashioned after Queen Victoria's wedding dress.

[1] Both Charles' sons, his heir apparent William, Prince of Wales, and younger son Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, were christened in the original gown, while four of their children (George, Charlotte, Louis and Archie) were christened in the replica gown.

[6] There are strict instructions relating to the care of the gown, including that it be washed by hand with spring water after each use and be stored in a dark room.

This gown is made of Brussels lace, and was bought by Crown Princess Louise in Belgium for her eldest son's christening.

[10] The Dutch gown has been worn by at least thirteen royal babies over 139 years, accounting for all monarchs since Wilhelmina and their children.

Made of Brussels lace, the gown is decorated with floral motifs and the Dutch royal coat of arms.

[10] For other members of the Dutch royal house, such as Princess Margriet of the Netherlands and her family, christenings are private occasions, and most have taken place in the chapel of Het Loo Palace.

The robe's first wearer was Prince Georg of Denmark, one of Ingeborg's grandchildren, and has since been worn by many Norwegian royal children.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra, who as of 2022 is second in line to the Norwegian throne, was baptised in the chapel of the Royal Palace in Oslo on 17 April 2004, wearing the same gown as her great-grandfather King Olav V had worn when he was baptised as Prince Alexander Edward Christian Frederik of Denmark at Sandringham in 1903.

At this time, the Spanish royal family were in exile in Rome during the Civil War, whilst Spain was under the dictatorship of Francisco Franco.

[15] At Princess Margaretha's christening in 1935, her parents, The Duke and Duchess of Västerbotten, commissioned a cream-colored cape and cap to be added to the gown.
