How to Choose and Care for Formal Dresses

Formal dresses are an essential part of anybody's wardrobe, but choosing and caring for them can be a challenge. In this article, we will provide you with all the information you need to select the perfect formal dress for your kids and keep it looking like new.

One important thing to keep in mind is that formal dress sizes are different from regular clothing sizes. Do not assume that your child's regular clothing size will be the same as their formal dress size. Instead, use a measuring tape to measure your girl's net size without wearing any clothes (chest, waist, and height), and add 3-5cm to the chest and waist measurements to determine the appropriate size. Then, consider the height to determine the length of the dress or shirt by referring to the size chart. If your child is too thin, too chubby, or has a larger waist than chest, custom tailoring may be necessary for a proper fit. We offer convenient and cost-effective custom tailoring services. An additional fee of $10 will be charged for custom tailoring. Customized clothing cannot be returned or exchanged, so make sure to measure carefully to avoid disappointment.

Another important consideration when selecting formal dresses is the overall length of the dress. The length of the dress should be appropriate for your child's height, so make sure to measure carefully.

Consult the size chart and make any necessary adjustments, such as opting for custom tailoring, to ensure that the dress fits your child perfectly. 

 

Once you have selected the perfect formal dress for your child, it is important to take care of it properly to keep it looking like new. During transportation, clothes may get creased, so make sure to iron each layer of tulle, satin, and other fabrics before wearing. After putting on the clothes, make sure to spread out the tulle, satin, and petticoat evenly and smooth out any wrinkles to help maintain the shape of the clothes and achieve a model-like effect. When not wearing the clothes, hang them in a closet using a hanger instead of folding to prevent wrinkles from forming again and to maintain the shape of the clothes.

In conclusion, formal dresses are an essential part of any girl's wardrobe, but selecting and caring for them requires attention to detail. By following the tips outlined above, you can ensure that your child looks their best in their formal dress and that it remains in excellent condition for future wear.
