Learn how to pick the right size, fabric, and style for your child's ethnic wear
Introduction
There's nothing like seeing your child smile in a beautiful ethnic outfit. Whether it's Eid, a wedding, or a family party, Maria B Kids makes clothes that look amazing and feel great too.
But shopping for kids' ethnic wear can be hard. You might worry about picking the wrong size, choosing uncomfortable fabric, or buying a fake product. This guide will help you solve all these problems.
By the end, you'll know exactly how to pick the perfect Maria B Kids outfit for your child.
Problem 1: "I Don't Know What Size to Buy!"
Why Sizing Can Be Confusing
Kids' clothes sizes are different in every brand. A "6-8 years" size in one brand might be too big or too small in another. This causes returns, wasted time, and missed events.
The solution is simple: Don't just look at the age. Measure your child and check the size chart.

How to Measure Your Child Accurately
Use a soft measuring tape. Keep it snug but not too tight. Measure over light clothes.
Stitched vs Unstitched
If you buy unstitched fabric, you can get it tailored to fit your child perfectly. This is great if your child is between sizes.
Problem 2: "Will My Child Be Comfortable?"
Why Fabric Matters
Many kids don't like ethnic clothes because they feel "itchy" or "too hot." The good news? Choosing the right fabric fixes this problem!
Maria B Kids Fabrics Explained
Lawn — Best for Comfort
Lawn is light, soft, and lets air flow through. It's perfect for everyday wear, hot weather, and long events. Your child won't feel hot or uncomfortable.
Best for: Playdates, casual parties, summer events, all-day wear.

Cotton Silk Comfort + Style
This fabric looks shiny and fancy but still feels soft. It's great for events where you want your child to look elegant but stay comfortable for hours.
Best for: Eid, birthday parties, family dinners.
Jacquard — Elegant Texture
Jacquard has pretty patterns woven into the fabric. It's a bit heavier than lawn but drapes beautifully. Good for cooler weather.
Best for: Evening events, autumn/winter celebrations.
Net & Organza — For Special Occasions
These fabrics look dreamy and princess-like. They're best for short events like weddings. Make sure the outfit has a soft cotton lining inside so it doesn't scratch.
Best for: Weddings, formal events, photoshoots.

Check the Lining
Always check if the outfit has a soft lining inside. This stops embroidery and sequins from touching your child's skin. A good lining makes a big difference in comfort.
How to Care for the Clothes
Good care makes outfits last longer. Here's what to do:
- Washing: Hand wash in cold water with mild soap. If using a machine, put it in a mesh bag and use gentle cycle.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight. Don't use a dryer for fancy clothes.
- Storage: Hang the outfit or fold with tissue paper between layers to protect the embroidery.
Problem 3: "Which Outfit is Right for Which Event?"
Match the Outfit to the Occasion
Different events need different outfits. Here's a simple guide:
