Dress Sizing


GENERAL INFO FOR ALL DRESSES

 

The chart below reflects traditional dress lengths for pillowcase dresses, which is mid-calf to near the ankle. Just use the measurement from shoulder to hem to decide the length you want for your child. There certainly are no hard fast rules!!

 

As your little one grows, the pillowcase dress can be worn through the years as a shorter dress and then a top. Lengths for tops are shown below also. This is the ultimate piece of clothing for layering depending on the season!!
