Product Information
Full details
The Kite Flutterby Dress is designed for infants and young girls who need a blend of comfort, durability, and classic style. Made from soft, organic cotton with a charming butterfly print, this dress offers a practical outfit for everyday wear, featuring convenient patch pockets and easy-access shoulder buttons for younger sizes. A potential caveat for busy parents is that while the garment is machine washable, it requires specific care—such as washing inside out and ironing on the reverse—to maintain the integrity of the fabric and print over time.

FAQs
What does GOTS certified mean?
GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard, which is the leading worldwide textile processing standard for organic fibers, ensuring environmental and social responsibility.
Can I tumble dry this dress?
While the dress is machine washable, we recommend air drying to keep the fabric soft and to prevent potential shrinkage or damage to the print.
Does the dress fit true to size?
The dress is designed with a bit of stretch for a comfortable fit; however, if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure a longer duration of wear.
Are the buttons made of plastic?
No, the dress features authentic coconut buttons, providing a natural and eco-friendly detail.
What is the age range for this dress?
The Flutterby Dress is available in sizes ranging from 0-6 months up to 8 years, depending on the specific model and stock.
Is the fabric suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, because it is made from organic cotton and adheres to GOTS standards, it is free from harsh chemicals, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
Troubleshooting
Print fading after multiple washes
Ensure the dress is always turned inside out before being placed in the washing machine and avoid high-heat tumble drying.
Fabric wrinkling after wash
Iron the garment on the reverse side while it is slightly damp or use a low-heat setting on a dry iron.
Difficulty with shoulder buttons
Ensure the buttonholes are free from loose threads; if tight, gently stretch the fabric loop before the first use.
