Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The dress runs full-length and has an empire waist seam where the apron section begins. If your child is between sizes or especially tall, we'd suggest sizing up so the hem reaches the floor without being too short. The apron ties adjust at the back for a custom fit.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

This is designed as a complete dress rather than a slip-on piece, so it replaces your child's regular outfit rather than going over the top. The long sleeves and high neckline make it warm enough for cooler classrooms - no extra layers needed underneath.

Care: Gentle hand wash in cold water, hang to dry. Press with warm iron if needed to smooth out the calico print.
