Lesson 15 : Clothing Requirements for Toddlers

Dresses and slips, Suits

Dresses and suits should be purchased with room for growth, but not so large as to be cumbersome for the child. They should allow for freedom of activities and be easy to put on and take off as well as to launder. If a dress is light in weight and a thin slip may be needed also. Avoid elaborate trimmings that tend to irritate the child’s skin and cause problems in laundering

Outer suits should be of wool / acrylic and should be interlined. These suits should be large enough to accommodate overalls or dresses and also should have allowance for growth. In cold weather, baby needs warm suits / coats and legging sets or leg warmers.
