Size Guide

In most cases, children’s clothing sizes are based on centilong (cl) or centimetres (cm), referring to the child’s full height from head to toe.

General Tip
Choose the size that most closely matches your child’s current height.

Most dresses include elastic panels at the sides or back (even when they feature a zip), allowing for flexibility and comfort.
