Buying guide
For summer heat rash, dress babies in double-layer muslin cotton: the open weave lets air move and sweat evaporate faster than tighter knits. Choose loose-fitting rompers, onesies or sets, wash cold before first wear, and skip fabric softener. Muslin softens with every wash and dries quickly, which helps keep skin cooler between changes.

We're Vanessa and Bob, and we make Epic's clothes for our own kids first. Bali summers get hot and sticky, and loose, breathable layers are what we reach for when skin needs room to breathe. This guide walks through what to look for and which of our muslin pieces work best for warm weather.

Loose through the leg for warm afternoons, and pairs easily with a light short-sleeve top.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low or hang to dry. Skip fabric softener and high heat, and the fabric will keep softening with every wash.
