Buying guide
For an active toddler girl in the heat, pick a muslin skirt or skort: the open weave lets air through and it dries fast after sweat or splashes. Flat seams stop rubbing during play. A skort like our bloom skort adds built-in shorts for climbing, while a skirt like the blossom suits quieter days.

We make these muslin pieces because our own kids never stopped moving, especially in the heat. Muslin is a loose, open weave, so air moves through it and it dries fast after a sweaty afternoon. Skirts and skorts both work for a toddler who is always on the go, so the right pick usually comes down to how much climbing she plans to do.
Built-in shorts underneath, so she can climb or hang upside down without worry.
A softer choice for a warm day at home, plenty of room to move without extra layers underneath.
One piece and done, good for a hot day when she'd rather skip the waistband.
Another double layer option if she wants the airflow of a skirt with the ease of a dress.
A skort has shorts built in underneath, so she can climb or hang upside down without worry. A skirt alone suits calmer days or dress up.
Wash it cold on a gentle cycle and skip the fabric softener, then tumble dry low or hang it up. Muslin creases easily, that's normal. It also gets softer with every wash.
