Durable, easy-to-wash and easier-to-wear, this sturdy cotton twill gets the thumbs up from parents and little ones alike.

Its increasing acceptance in style circles means it a humble dress can do play-to-party duty with just a few small tweaks.

It’s this chameleon charm that makes denim a wardrobe must for minis. Smiles all round!

DESIGN NOTES:

For increased mobility and playtime ease look to smocked styles or those with cotton panels.

Special event? Details like ruffles and embroidery upscale denim.

A classic shift allows for trans-seasonal layering.

Think polo necks and tights now; sunglasses and sandals later.
