Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The dress has a side zipper and isn't stretchy, so check the chest measurement carefully. If your daughter is between sizes or prefers a bit of room to move, we'd say size up—the empire waist and A-line skirt are forgiving through the body. The sleeves have gathered elastic cuffs that flex to fit.

Can she wear this over regular clothes?

Not really—it's a full dress that goes on like regular clothing. She'll want to wear a singlet or slip underneath if the classroom is cold. The apron ties over the top, and the whole thing goes on in under two minutes.

Care: Hand wash cold, hang to dry. Press the apron and collar with a warm iron if needed.
