Picture your daughter skipping into the classroom on Book Week morning in this classic blue gingham farm girl costume - the instantly recognisable pinafore dress over a crisp white blouse with puffed sleeves. It's a two-piece set made from soft cotton-blend fabric: the blue-and-white checked pinafore has an empire waist and full gathered skirt for twirling, plus a back sash that ties into a bow; the white blouse features blue gingham piping trim around the neckline and sleeves.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The pinafore bodice is fitted through the chest with a gathered skirt, and the blouse has elasticised or hemmed short sleeves for comfort. If your daughter is between sizes or you want room for layering a long-sleeved top underneath (handy for cold classrooms), we'd recommend sizing up. The waist sash adjusts to fit, so there's flexibility there.

Can she wear this over regular clothes?

The white blouse is designed to be worn as a costume top (not a full underlayer), so you'd typically dress her in just the blouse and pinafore over regular underwear or bike shorts. If it's chilly, a white long-sleeved top underneath the blouse works well - just keep it fitted so it doesn't bunch under the puffed sleeves.

Care: Hand wash or gentle machine wash cold, line dry. Press the gingham with a warm iron if needed to keep it crisp for photos.
