As a sustainable brand, we do not believe in excess packaging. Your garment will arrive in a carefully packed box. The garment is found inside our signature duster, ideal for transport and long term care.

Please reference our size guide & how to measure video to determine the right size for your child. Feel free to email us your child’s measurements if you would like advice on what size to order based on the date of your event.
Please note, we also offer a basic cotton mock up of our standard dress if you would prefer to confirm sizing in advance without measurements. Each plain cotton sizer comes with fabric markers so your child can then turn the dress into a creation of their own.

We leave seam allowances so that a dress can be taken up or down a full size and can be worn for years to come.
We do not cover the cost of alternations made by a third party.
