Quick answer
Measure your bust, waist, and hips, then compare to the Pink Smiles Dress size chart. The ultra-soft fabric blend offers some stretch, so if you're between sizes, size up for a more relaxed fit.
Why sizing matters for this dress
The Pink Smiles Dress is made from a blend of 47% Modal, 48% Cotton, and 5% Spandex. This fabric is ultra-soft and has a bit of give, but it's not a stretch-to-fit material. Getting the right size ensures the dress hangs comfortably without being too loose or too tight.
Because the dress is tagless for comfort, you won't have an itchy label to remind you of the size. That makes it even more important to choose correctly from the start.
Common sizing pitfalls for moms
Many moms assume their pre-pregnancy size will still fit after childbirth, but body changes—especially in the bust and hips—can shift your size by one or two increments. The Pink Smiles Dress is designed for kids, but the sizing runs from XS (2-3) up to XL (9-10), so it's important to measure your child accurately.
Another common mistake is ignoring the hip measurement. Even if the waist fits, too-tight hips can make the dress ride up or feel restrictive.
How to choose the right size in the Pink Smiles Dress
- Measure your child's chest, waist, and hips: Use a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of the chest, the natural waist, and the widest part of the hips. Write down each number. Don't rely on age labels alone—kids' proportions vary widely.
- Compare measurements to the size chart: Match each measurement to the size chart for the Pink Smiles Dress. If your child falls between sizes, choose the larger size for a roomier fit. The 5% spandex gives a little stretch, but it won't make up for a full size difference.
- Consider the dress length: The dress is designed to be comfy and not restrictive. If your child is tall for their age, the larger size may offer a bit more length. Length isn't listed on the size chart, so use the chest/waist/hip fit as your primary guide.
- Check the fit after washing: The cotton-modal-spandex blend may shrink slightly in the first wash. Wash in cold water and tumble dry low to minimize shrinkage. If you're on the edge between sizes, sizing up can help account for any minor shrinkage.
