Children's Apparel FAQ Common Questions Masterlist
Question: What is the best fabric for children with eczema or extremely sensitive skin?
Answer: For children with eczema or sensitive skin, we highly recommend our 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton or bamboo viscose collections. These fabrics are inherently hypoallergenic, breathable, and free from the chemical pesticides and synthetic irritants often found in conventional cotton. The fibers are exceptionally soft, reducing friction that can aggravate sensitive skin. Furthermore, our dyes are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning they are tested and verified to be free from harmful substances. We advise washing any new children's apparel with a fragrance-free detergent before the first wear to remove any residual dust from packaging and transportation.
Question: How do I accurately measure my child to select the correct size in your children's apparel?
Answer: To ensure a perfect fit, you will need a soft measuring tape. For tops and dresses, measure the chest at its fullest part, just under the arms. For the garment length, measure from the highest point of the shoulder down to the desired hemline. For pants and bottoms, measure the waist at the natural waistline and the inseam from the crotch to the ankle. Compare these measurements to our detailed sizing chart. We recommend selecting a size based on the chest or waist measurement, as length can often be more forgiving. If your child is between sizes, we suggest sizing up for growing room, especially for styles you intend for them to wear for more than one season.
Question: Are your children's apparel items preshrunk, and what is your return policy if an item doesn't fit?
Answer: Yes, the vast majority of our core fabrics, including our organic cotton and bamboo blends, are pre-shrunk during the manufacturing process to minimize shrinkage to less than 3-5%. However, to maintain the integrity of the garments, we always recommend following our care instructions, specifically washing in cold water and tumble drying on low or line drying. We stand behind the quality and fit of our children's apparel with a customer-friendly 30-day return policy. Items must be unworn, unwashed, and with original tags attached. For hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns on undergarments and swimwear unless the item is defective. Please refer to our website's Returns & Exchanges page for a full step-by-step guide on initiating a return.
Durability and Design Features
The longevity of children's apparel is a key concern for parents. Our design philosophy incorporates reinforced stitching at all major stress points, including knees, elbows, and seams. We use high-quality, branded zippers and snaps that are designed for repeated use. For our printed designs, we utilize digital printing technology that bonds the ink with the fabric fiber, preventing cracking and fading even after multiple washes. Our color palettes are selected not only for their visual appeal but also for their colorfastness, ensuring the vibrant look lasts.
Seasonal Collections and Layering
Dressing children appropriately for changing weather is essential. Our seasonal collections are designed with layering in mind.
- Spring/Summer: Features lightweight, breathable fabrics with UV protection of UPF 50+ in select styles. Look for mesh linings and moisture-wicking properties.
- Fall/Winter: Focuses on thermal insulation with brushed cotton interiors, fleece-lined options, and water-resistant outer shells for jackets.
Styling and Versatility
Our children's apparel is designed for mix-and-match versatility. Core color staples like navy, white, heather gray, and burgundy allow for endless outfit combinations. We offer coordinating sets but also design each piece to stand alone, enabling you to build a functional and stylish capsule wardrobe for your child that simplifies dressing and maximizes value.

Question: Do you offer clothing for children with specific needs, such as sensory sensitivities or adaptive clothing?
Answer: Yes, we are committed to inclusivity. We have a dedicated adaptive children's apparel line designed in collaboration with occupational therapists. These garments feature tagless labels, flat-lock seams to prevent chafing, and soft, stretchy fabrics without restrictive elastics. For easier dressing, options include magnetic closures instead of buttons, side-openings for tops, and wider leg openings on pants. We also offer a range of seamless underwear and socks specifically for children with sensory processing disorders. You can filter for "Adaptive Wear" on our website to view the entire collection.
Question: How sustainable and ethical is your children's apparel production process?
Answer: Our commitment to sustainability is woven into every step of our process. We prioritize organic and recycled materials to reduce our environmental footprint. Our manufacturing partners are certified by independent bodies for ethical labor practices, ensuring safe working conditions and fair wages. We utilize water-saving dyeing techniques and aim for zero-waste pattern cutting in our factories. All our packaging is 100% recyclable or made from post-consumer materials. We are transparent about our supply chain and publish an annual sustainability report detailing our progress and goals.
Question: What is the difference between your "Everyday" and "Special Occasion" children's apparel lines?
Answer: Our "Everyday" line is built for comfort, durability, and play. These pieces are made from our softest, most durable cottons and blends, designed for machine washing and drying, and feature practical designs like reinforced knees and easy-stretch waistbands. Our "Special Occasion" line utilizes more delicate, luxurious fabrics such as soft tulle, satin accents, and detailed embroidery or smocking. While still high-quality, these pieces often require more gentle care, such as hand washing or dry cleaning, as indicated on the specific care label. The "Special Occasion" line is perfect for holidays, birthdays, photographs, and other events where a more formal aesthetic is desired.
