FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This versatile dress is perfect for a wide range of special events, including weddings (as a guest or bridesmaid helper), birthday parties, evening celebrations, first communions, christenings, and professional photography sessions.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
The dress is available in UK children's sizes from 3-4 Years up to 11-12 Years. We recommend selecting the size that typically fits your child's age group and usual clothing size. The satin waistband allows for some adjustment to ensure a comfortable fit.
Is the sequin comfortable against a child's skin?
Yes, comfort is a key design aspect. The sequin bodice is carefully overlaid with a soft tulle fabric specifically to prevent direct contact with delicate skin, ensuring it remains comfortable and irritation-free.
What material is the dress made from?
The main body of the dress, including the midi length tulle overlay, is crafted from 100% polyester. The bodice features intricate hand-sewn sequin embellishments.
Can this dress be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. To preserve the delicate sequins and tulle fabric, it is essential to hand wash the dress gently in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying.
How long is the dress?
This is a midi length dress with a tulle overlay. The length typically falls to mid-calf or ankle, depending on your child's height, contributing to its elegant and romantic aesthetic.
Does the dress include a belt?
Yes, the dress features a charming satin waistband that ties into a beautiful bow at the back, adding both a decorative element and adjustability to the fit.
Troubleshooting
Sequins appear dull or are coming loose after wear.
To prevent damage, always hand wash the dress gently in cold water. Avoid abrasive actions or contact with rough surfaces that could snag or dislodge sequins. Store the dress carefully to protect embellishments.
Dress appears wrinkled after being stored or packed.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes to naturally release wrinkles. If using an iron, ensure it's on the lowest heat setting, iron from the inside out, and use a pressing cloth over delicate areas like sequins and tulle. A handheld steamer is the safest option.
The satin bow at the back keeps untying.
For a more secure bow, try tying a double knot. Alternatively, after tying the initial knot, you can use a small, clear hair elastic to secure the base of the knot before forming the loops of the bow.
The tulle skirt has lost some of its volume or looks flattened.
Gently fluff the layers of the tulle skirt by hand. Hanging the dress in a steamy environment (like a bathroom after a shower) can also help the tulle fibers relax and regain some natural volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing
The Maya Deluxe Midi Dress is available in a range of UK children's sizes, including 3-4 Years, 5-6 Years, 7-8 Years (this variant), 9-10 Years, and 11-12 Years. To ensure the best fit, we recommend comparing your child's measurements to a standard size chart if available, or selecting the size corresponding to their usual clothing size. The `satin waistband` offers some adjustability for a comfortable fit around the waist.
Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the dress's beauty and extend its lifespan, particularly for the sequin embellishments:
- Hand Wash Only: Gently hand wash the dress in cold water using a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing or twisting.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or strong chemical cleaners, as these can damage the fabric, sequins, and tulle.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: Lay the dress flat on a clean, dry surface or hang it on a padded hanger to air dry. Tumble drying can damage the sequins and alter the shape of the dress.
- Low Heat Ironing (Optional): If needed, iron on the lowest heat setting, *inside out*, and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Avoid direct heat on sequins or tulle. Steaming is generally a safer method for wrinkle removal.
- Storage: Store the dress on a hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and snags, preserving the sequins and tulle.
Compatibility
This dress is designed for `Female` children in the `kids` age group. It is a complete garment and does not require specific compatible products, allowing it to be paired with various shoes and accessories of your choice.
