First, I wish these dresses were made in my size. They may seem spendy, but the quality is unmatched. My daughter can wear these for a whole season and they don't look worn at all and she tends to be rough and tumble. We also have leggings from this brand and also adorable, fit perfectly, wonderful. I love how they fit as so many little girl clothes you find now are super tight or cut to be like college girl clothes and these are just adorable, fit how she likes them, and super comfortable for her. The weight is just right too. So many clothes again are thin for layering or to be cheaply made and these are solid and warm without being bulky. My daughter also can't handle 3/4 length sleeves or sleeves that claim to be long but come way up when you move your arms and she is totally fine with these. The variety of colors is also so appreciated because then we can have a bunch of the same style in different colors. Photo is from last spring, planting trees, she got squirted with a hose so that's why the dress is wet in some parts. I just love that these are made in America and are such high quality, never had so much as a string out of place on these. Thank you thank you!

I have four kids, and I love when I can find comfy but unique, versatile mix-and-match clothing pieces for them! The City Threads brand delivers on all those things. We have purchased City Threads dresses before, so I was familiar with their sizing, which runs large for us. My 3'3" (39") 30lb daughter usually wears a size 3T -- and this 18-24mo fits her well now, hitting right at her knees. And it will fit her baby sister in another year, and because of the quality, I know it will last! We purchased the Medium Pink Stripes, for some reason the striped versions are 75% Cotton / 25 Polyester (rather than 100% cotton, like the plain ones.) I love that these are Made in USA, and they are high quality, with nice even stitching and heavier fabric made from safe dyes and materials. It is Machine Wash Cold, which we did with no fading or shrinking, and can be Tumble Dry Low (but we choose to line-dry!) It is a classic shape/style, and also an adorable piece for layering ( we paired it with Kid Nation Girls' Long Sleeve Cardigan Lovely Sweater S Grey !) so it will be good across seasons. We have already purchased additional colors and sizes, this dress is a favorite!

There is no beating any of the City Threads dresses. Comfortable, easy to care for (they come out fine through any temperature wash and dry) and to put on and off. My daughter lives in them (and sometimes sleeps in them because she doesn't want to take them off), and they have all lasted well. And the "bright light blue" one was also incidentally perfect for creating a Star Trek Spock cosplay dress. :) In general these would make a great base for any kind of embellishment, super easy to sew.
