Common Customer Questions:
How does the sizing run?
True to size with a classic fit. The smocked bodice provides some flexibility, but if your daughter is between sizes or taller, consider sizing up for extended wear and a longer length.
Is this comfortable for active play?
Absolutely! The soft fabric and smocked design allow for plenty of movement. The full skirt is perfect for twirling, and the flutter sleeves won't restrict her arms during play.
Can this be dressed up or down?
Yes! Pair it with sandals for casual wear or dress it up with Mary Janes for special occasions. The classic design works beautifully either way.
How do I care for the smocking and appliqué?
Machine wash on gentle cycle and lay flat or hang to dry. The smocking and embroidered sailboat details are durable and will maintain their shape wash after wash.
Does this come in other colors or patterns?
This style features the classic white bodice with sage gingham accents. Check our Seaside Sweetheart Collection for coordinating pieces, including the matching baby bubble!
Is the fabric see-through?
No, the fabric is fully lined and opaque, so no slip or undershirt is needed.
Will the bows stay in place?
Yes, the bows are securely stitched to the dress, so they'll stay perfectly positioned all day long.
