If your child is in between sizes, we do recommend sizing down.  True to the Bea Colette brand DNA, we love that this dress chieves both polished and practical. It will take your  toddler from playtime to dinner. Wear with sneakers for day, or sweater and dress shoes for evening. This is a rare European brand that runs a bit large in size. For example, if your child is typically a 5, we suggest selecting a size 4 in Pukatuka. The body of a Pukatuka romper, bubble, or dress usually runs longer too.
