Common Questions:
Does it run true to size? Yes, this dress runs true to boutique sizing. If your little one is between sizes, we recommend sizing up for room to grow.
How do I care for it? Lay flat to dry to keep the appliqué and fabric looking their best. Machine wash cold.
Does it have a zipper or buttons? The bow ties at the sides make it easy to slip on and off — no fussy closures.
