Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The dress runs true to size through the chest and has a back zip for easy on-off. The collar attaches separately at the back of the neck, so it won't feel tight even if your child is between sizes. If she's tall for her age, consider sizing up for length—the skirt sits above the knee in our standard fit.

Can she wear this over regular clothes?

The short puffed sleeves work best over a singlet or thin long-sleeve top if the classroom is cold. Pair with black tights (not included) for coverage and warmth—the multi-layered skirt sits comfortably over leggings without bunching.

Care: Hand wash in cold water, hang to dry. Remove crown and collar before washing. Iron skirt layers on low heat if needed.
