Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The dress runs true to size with a comfortable A-line cut. The sleeve cuffs and bonnet both have elastic, so they'll stretch to fit a range of wrist and head sizes. If your daughter is between sizes or prefers a looser fit, size up—the apron ties at the back so you can adjust it either way.

Can she wear this over regular clothes?

The dress is designed to be worn as the main garment, not over other clothes. Pair it with a simple white or cream top underneath if the classroom is cold, and any dark tights or leggings work well underneath. She'll need her own shoes—brown or black flats or ankle boots finish the look.

Care: Hand wash in cold water or gentle machine cycle, hang to dry. Iron apron and bonnet on low heat if needed.
