FAQ

What color top is more practical for a toddler who tends to get clothes messy?

Very light colors such as ivory tend to show food spots and everyday marks more quickly, while soft colors such as lavender, blush pink, or powder blue may make some minor marks less noticeable. This top comes in all four options, so parents who love a clean neutral look can choose Ivory, while those who prefer a little more forgiveness for everyday wear may find one of the colored versions more practical.

How do you layer a ruffle-collar top under a cardigan without bunching up the collar?

Lay the ruffle collar flat before adding the outer layer, then choose a cardigan or jacket with enough room around the neckline instead of a tight high-neck layer. An open cardigan is especially easy because the ruffle can stay visible rather than being compressed underneath. This top has a small ruffle-trim crew neckline, so it does not require a bulky outer layer to create a layered look.

How can I protect embroidery on kids' clothes when machine washing?

Turn embroidered clothing inside out before machine washing so the decorative surface has less direct contact with other garments. For this top, use a gentle cycle and wash it with similar colors. The care instructions also recommend turning the top inside out when possible to help protect the embroidered detail. Follow the garment care label for water temperature, drying, bleaching, and ironing.

What color girls' top is easiest to mix with several different bottoms?

Soft neutral and pastel tops are easy to repeat because they work with several simple bottom colors. Ivory pairs easily with denim, brown, or dusty pink; Lavender works with cream, white, or light denim; Blush Pink works well with ivory, gray, or denim; and Powder Blue pairs cleanly with cream, navy, or light denim. Keeping the bottoms simple also lets the small embroidered motif remain the main detail. If you need more pieces to mix and match, you can browse our girls bottoms.
