Shopping for clothes for your children can be daunting, especially when there are many things to consider. One of the most important things to consider regarding kids’ dresses is fabric. Selecting the suitable material can make a big difference to your child’s comfort and ease of cleaning.

Style

The right dresses and more from Janie and Jack can make a big difference to a baby or toddler’s wardrobe. Babies and small children look more adorable in dresses with short sleeves. They’re also easier to put on and remove. A-line styles are a good option for kids because they’re designed to underscore the waistline, making them a flattering choice for all body types. Many early baby dresses were made of sheer white cotton frocks, trimmed with waist sashes for a high-waisted look. These were popular for babies, young toddlers, and older girls who wore them daily.

Fit

The fit of your child’s dress is one of the essential aspects. This will ensure that it is comfortable and easy to wear. Ideally, you should purchase a dress one size larger than your child’s actual or current size so they can grow into it over time. Kids will increase, and if you buy them clothes too small, they may only get a little use. To find the correct fit, measure your child’s height, chest width, waist, hips, and hem length with a soft tailor measuring tape. Make sure to measure over a thin t-shirt or vest and not over a thick jumper to be accurate.

Fabric

The suitable fabric can significantly impact your child’s comfort and ease of movement. Choosing the wrong material could mean they’ll feel uncomfortable in their clothes, which may cause tantrums or frustration. For example, synthetic fabrics such as polyester can’t breathe like natural textiles, causing your child to sweat more than necessary and become unhappy or grumpy. On the other hand, natural fabrics such as cotton and wool are lightweight, breathable, and highly comfortable. They also have several benefits to their wearers, such as keeping them cool and dry in summer or warming them up in the colder months.

Color

Aside from style, color is essential when shopping for children’s dresses. Bright colors evoke particular emotions and are often chosen to make kids happy. Pink is considered feminine, while blue is seen as more masculine. Business Insider reported that this might be due to historical associations with both colors. However, it’s important to note that this is not an innate trait. It’s more likely to occur if kids are exposed to it early on or when they see others wearing the same color. Back in the day, children would generally wear white dresses because it was easy to clean. It was also a unisex clothing color. It was in the mid-19th century that gender-specific clothes and colors became children’s clothing.

Size

The essential factor in choosing a dress for your child is comfortable. She won’t be happy if it feels too tight or too loose on her body. Thankfully, many brands make clothes that fit your child perfectly. You can also find sizing guides to help determine what size is best for your little one. If you need help deciding what size to buy, try on a few dresses at the store. You can even ask the sales associate for their recommendation. However, it’s always best to measure your child’s height and weight before purchasing.

The ability to get eyelash extensions at a salon is a dream come true for those who enjoy wearing makeup but rarely have the time. It’s also a great way to give your natural lashes a boost of conditioning nourishment.

But, when you’re ready to finally say goodbye to those long-fluttery lash extensions, it can be tricky to know how to take them off safely and without damaging your natural lashes. That’s why we’ve rounded up the ultimate guideline from the lash pros.

Do Not Apply Makeup

Eyelash extensions can be a fun addition to a makeup routine. They’re also a great way to keep your natural lashes looking their best.

If you’re ready to know how to remove eyelash extensions, you must follow these rules. Not following them can cause damage to your lashes and even lead to infection of the eye area.

Oil-based eye makeup removers can help break down the glue holding your lash extensions. However, steaming your face before applying any oils is a good idea.

Do Not Pull

While you may be tempted to pull at your lashes to remove them, it is best not to. This is because lash extensions are designed to be gently removed, and harsh pulling can damage your natural lashes.

Likewise, rubbing your eyelashes can also result in premature eyelash loss. This is because your lashes are meant to stay in place, but when they rub together, they break off and cause pain and irritation.

Rather than pulling, tugging or rubbing your lashes, you should cleanse them with an oil-based product. This will help loosen the adhesive bonds and make them easier to remove.

Do Not Rub

When trying to remove your eyelash extensions at home, it is best not to rub them. This is because it can cause them to detach or break.

To accomplish this, use steam, an oil-based cleanser, or a product made significantly to dissolve eyelash glue.

If you cannot use any of these methods, you can use a warm shower to help loosen the adhesive.

To do this, pour hot water into a wide bowl and allow it to build up a good amount of steam. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable level and soak your lashes in the steam for a few minutes.

Do Not Wash

It is best to avoid washing your eyelash extensions, as the wrong cleanser can weaken your lash glue. This can cause your lashes to fall out prematurely.

Marin advises against using oil-based cleansers as they can dissolve the bonding adhesive that holds your lashes in place. This is especially true when you shower with your lashes on, as hot water can break down the lash glue even more.

Salt can also dissolve the glue, so it is best to not take a long swim or soak in a hot tub with your eyelash extensions on. Wear goggles that don’t squish your lashes for added protection if you have to.

Do Not Exfoliate

Exfoliating your eyelash extensions should be your absolute last resort. This could lead to the glue being pulled off too quickly and damaging your natural lashes.

That’s why it’s best not to exfoliate, especially if you have long lashes and/or thick eyelid skin.

Performing an exfoliation will also leave your eye area vulnerable to bacteria that can cause infections.

That’s why it’s best to let a professional remove your eyelash extensions. That way, they can apply a gentle remover that won’t irritate your eyes and/or cause any damage to your natural lashes.
