Baby Girl Ribbed Knit Dress with Eyelet Ruffle Collar and Headband Model E-385

Baby Girl Knit Dress Model E-385 with soft warmth

The Baby Girl Knit Dress Model E-385 comes with a matching headband and suits mild to slightly cool days, when your little one needs warmth without bulk. The ribbed knit feels soft, stretches with every movement and keeps its shape after washing.

Design details

The fabric is a knit with raised vertical ribs broken by a small open stitch, as seen in the close-up circle at the bottom. Around the neck is a wide ruffle collar in cotton broderie anglaise with flower-shaped eyelets and a scalloped edge, shown in the upper circle. A second ruffle of the same fabric sits at the waist, marking the bodice and giving the dress a fuller shape before the skirt falls in soft folds. The long knit sleeves finish with small elastic frills at the wrist, and the ribbed knit headband is tied into a bow.

Why it suits your little girl

Knit holds body heat better than woven fabric, so the dress with tights is enough on autumn days. The cotton collar touches the neck instead of the knit, keeping skin comfortable, and the roomy cut leaves space for a bodysuit underneath when it gets colder.

Choosing a colour

Beige shows a lovely contrast with the white ruffles and looks smart with white tights and brown shoes. Cream is tone-on-tone with ruffles in the same shade for a soft look that is perfect for photos and occasions.

Size and care tips

The knit stretches, but choose the larger size if she will wear a bodysuit under it. Hand wash or use the wool programme in cold water and dry flat so it does not stretch out.
