Fabric Guide: Which Material Works Best

Fabric plays a key role in overall comfort, particularly when clothing is worn for long hours, making soft and breathable materials an important consideration.

• Cotton dress girls designs: Suitable for regular use, during hot seasons and when one has sensitive skin. These fabrics are breathable and easy to wash.
• Polyester blend: This is the most appropriate one for parties and it does not lose its shape, can be worn with almost every ornament and is easier to wash, unlike pure silk or satin.
• Jersey knit: Jersey knit fabrics are flexible and suitable for active children due to their stretch and softness.
• Georgette and chiffon: Light and flowy for outdoor play and summer parties. However, it may not be suitable for very young children since it should be handled carefully.
• Velvet: Best for winter parties and festivities. It is smooth to the touch and retains colour over time.
• Satin: Used in birthday dresses for girls and princess dresses. Creates a polished look for celebrations and photographs.

Size and Fit Guide

Most brands have girls dresses in the age group 0-12 years while some extend to 14-16 years too. Brands have different sizes, and the only sure way to find the correct size is to look at the size chart on the product page of each item.

There are a few things to consider:

• Measure chest, waist and height rather than use age alone.
• Elasticated fabrics can offer a more flexible fit.
• A-line shapes can fit many body types and age groups.
