What Materials Are Most Commonly Used to Create Girls' Dresses and What Should You Choose for Your Child?
When choosing a smart dress for girls, you should pay attention not only to its style, cut, or colour. A very important aspect is the material from which it was created, because this will mainly influence the comfort of wearing such clothing... and not only that!
What fabrics are girls' dresses most commonly made from? What must you know about each of them? Are synthetic materials as terrible as they're made out to be? Read on!
Why Is It Worth Looking at the Composition Label on a Girl's Dress?
Choosing clothing with the proper composition is important primarily for a child's skin, and especially for babies. It's much more delicate and sensitive compared to adults. This makes injuries and irritation much more likely. How can you prevent them?
Ensure proper access of your child's skin to air, because its absence is the main cause of all sorts of redness and chafing in little ones. Try to ensure that an elegant dress for girls contains as many natural materials as possible. It's good if synthetic fabrics make up only a small portion of the overall composition. Thanks to this, the outfit will be appropriately breathable, so you'll significantly reduce the risk of unpleasant skin complaints.
Is Every Synthetic Material in a Girl's Dress Bad?
In the case of children's clothing, the presence of synthetic materials such as polyester or elastane in the composition is often heavily demonised. This is a big mistake! Additions of synthetic fabrics shouldn't affect proper air circulation in girls' dresses, and can actually improve their properties!
What are the advantages of synthetic fabrics then? Thanks to them, clothes:
- Dry faster
- Have much fewer creases
- Are more resistant to sunlight
- Are more durable against mechanical damage
- Gain greater elasticity and stretch, which is particularly valuable with fitted styles
Of course, we can't forget about the disadvantages of such a solution. Synthetic materials have a strong tendency to:
- Generate static electricity (and therefore get dirty faster due to attracting particles of dirt)
- Melt under high temperature (so you must be very careful when ironing such girls' dresses)
- Develop pilling (small balls form, which you can remove with a fabric shaver or gently melt into the fabric structure during ironing)
However, if synthetic material makes up only a small percentage of the overall composition of an elegant dress for girls, it shouldn't cause much trouble in daily use and care. Therefore, there's no need to panic when it turns out that the chosen model contains an addition of polyester or elastane.
What Materials Are Most Commonly Used to Produce Girls' Dresses?
What fabric will be used in an elegant dress for girls will depend on its cut and style. Material also has enormous significance in the final shape of the outfit. For light and flowing clothes, tulle will be used, whilst for a heavier effect, manufacturers reach for velour.
So what girls' dresses will you encounter in shops? The most commonly used materials are:
- Chiffon
- Linen
- Georgette
- Guipure lace
- Silk
- Viscose
- Velour
