Which Fabrics Are Best For Kids Clothing ?

With the arrival of a baby at home, one piece of advice that will come from all corners is- Be careful. Be it regarding the babies feed or baby bath; be it concerning nappy changes or regarding taking him out; you’ll have to be careful, real careful with the baby. The same applies to selecting baby clothes. Baby’s soft and supple skin is far more sensitive than an adult and therefore is rash prone and can easily be harmed with touch of a harsh piece of clothing. It is therefore, very important to carefully opt for the right fabrics when you are shopping for kids clothes.

There is a wide variety to choose from. The most comfortable and convenient ones are listed below-

Cotton

Satin/Taffeta/Tulle

purple-tulle-flowers-kids-party-dressFor special occasions, special fabrics are needed. The shiny satin and taffeta are a great choice when it comes to picking up party outfits for kids. Tulle dresses too are choice. These are however, high-maintenance and flammable materials, but then, we are not recommending them for everyday use in any case. Fabrics like these are used to craft beautiful designer frocks and gowns which if made out of fabrics like cotton may not look half as appealing. Therefore, now and then it is okay to go with the lovely satin and the playful tulle.

Cashmere: Another high-end fabric which can be used for kids clothing is cashmere. This soft luxury fabric needs not much to make any dress made using it stand out. It is as delicate as your baby and needs ample care too. But apparels made of cashmere carry such panache that splurging on them to give your baby the royal look is all worth it.

Fleece
