FAQs
What does GOTS certified mean?
GOTS stands for the Global Organic Textile Standard. It confirms that the entire supply chain, from cotton growers to final embroidery, meets strict environmental and social criteria.
Are the buttons made of plastic?
No, the buttons on the shoulder opening are made of natural coconut shell, aligning with the brand's sustainable approach.
Can I tumble dry this dress?
It is recommended to air dry the garment to maintain the integrity of the cotton and the print; high heat from tumble dryers can damage the jersey material.
How should I dress my baby for colder weather with this dress?
You can layer this dress with a warm pair of cotton leggings, a long-sleeved thermal vest underneath, and a cozy cardigan over the top.
Why is the button opening missing on larger sizes?
The shoulder buttons are specifically designed for infants up to 3 years to assist parents with dressing smaller children; older children generally don't require this assistance.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing.
Ensure you are not using excessive detergent, which can leave a residue. Air drying instead of tumble drying can help maintain fabric softness.
Print is fading or cracking.
Always wash the garment inside out and avoid harsh bleaching agents. Ensure the iron is kept at a low temperature and used only on the reverse side.
