Common Customer Questions:
How does the sizing run?
This dress runs true to size with a classic fit. If you're between sizes or want extra room to grow, we recommend sizing up.
Is the hand smocking delicate? Will it hold up?
While the smocking is beautifully detailed, it's made to last. The dress is machine washable and the smocking holds its shape beautifully through multiple washes.
Is it comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes! The lightweight batiste fabric is soft and breathable, making this dress comfortable enough for extended wear at events, church, or family gatherings.
What should I pair it with?
This dress looks beautiful with white tights or knee socks, a cardigan for cooler weather, and Mary Jane shoes. Add a matching bow or headband to complete the look.
Can I really machine wash it?
Absolutely! Machine wash on gentle cycle and tumble dry low. The quality construction means it holds up beautifully wash after wash.
Is the fabric see-through?
No, the fabric is fully lined and opaque, so you don't need to worry about layering underneath.
Will this become a keepsake piece?
Many of our customers save these dresses for future siblings or as treasured mementos. The heirloom-quality details and timeless style make it perfect for preserving.
