Fabric & Care

Muslin cotton is one of the most trusted fabrics for baby clothing in India, and for good reason. It is woven loosely, allowing air to pass through easily and keeping your baby cool even on warm Indian afternoons. It doesn’t trap heat or cause rashes. Over time and with each wash, muslin cotton actually gets softer, so this baby frock only gets better the more you use it. 

Washing Tips:

Machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle using cold or lukewarm water

Make sure that the detergent you use is safe for babies; avoid harsh chemicals and bleaches

Do not wring or twist the fabric. Press out excess water gently

Dry flat or hang in shade. Avoid direct harsh sunlight to protect the colour and lace detail

Light ironing is fine if needed, but avoid ironing directly over the lace

This frock is made to last through daily use and multiple washes without losing its shape or softness. It is built for real parenting, not just for one special occasion.

Size Guide

 A quick tip for Indian parents: Babies grow quickly! If your child is between sizes, pick one size up. The relaxed Jhabla fit gives you room to grow without looking too large.
