Generally, once a child is wearing 24 months – you will then base the size on age. On average – based on what age the child is – your best bet is to go up one size from the age. (For example – an average 2 year old wears a size 3, an average 5 year old wears a size 6, etc.)

How do I wash/launder my purchases?
Most of our items will have manufacturer labels indicating the method of washing. However, sometimes the labels do not indicate the instructions. We always recommend washing your items in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. Please keep in mind that any form of washing may cause a little bit of shrinkage. Line drying will eliminate shrinkage.
*Sweaters can be washed in the machine and then laid flat on a towel to dry.
*Special Occasion dresses should not be washed in the machine unless the manufacturer indicates it is OK to do so. Dry-Cleaning is preferable.
