Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric is best for a kids dress?
Lightweight cotton lawn, poplin, or linen blend drapes beautifully and washes easily. Pre-wash before cutting — natural fibers can shrink 3–5%.
How does the back neckline work without a zipper?
The back neckline has a casing for ¼″ elastic that stretches enough for the dress to go over a child's head. This makes dressing easier and eliminates the need for a zipper.
