Fabric comparison
Blossom Skirt is Epic's double-layer muslin cotton skirt, cut from an open, loose weave that lets air move straight through. Bloom Skort is a skirt-and-shorts style usually sewn from a tighter, more structured cotton weave, built to hold its shape during play. Both keep a toddler comfortable in warm weather, they just get there through different fabric.

| Blossom Skirt | Bloom Skort | |
|---|---|---|
| Fibre & construction | Blossom Skirt is Epic's double-layer muslin cotton, woven loose and open, then finished with flat seams so nothing rubs against the skin. | Bloom Skort pairs a skirt panel with built-in shorts, usually cut from a tighter, more structured cotton weave that holds its shape underneath. |
| Breathability | The open weave leaves small gaps throughout the cloth, so air moves through easily even with two layers stacked together. | A tighter, more structured weave sits closer together, so it breathes less freely than muslin, though the shorts layer covers less skin than a full double-layer skirt. |
| Weight & feel | Muslin is light and a little crinkled by nature; it creases easily, which is normal and part of how the weave behaves, not a flaw. | A tighter, more structured weave feels a bit heavier and holds a crisper shape, so it wrinkles less but moves less freely against the skin. |
| Hot-weather performance | Muslin dries quickly after a wash or a splash in the pool, and the loose weave keeps it from clinging to a warm, sweaty toddler. | The built-in shorts under a skort add a layer at the hips, so that area can feel warmer than a plain muslin skirt on a hot day. |
| Softness & durability | Muslin keeps softening with every wash, and Epic's Blossom Skirt arrives pre-washed so it already feels broken in on day one. | A tighter, more structured weave holds its shape wash after wash, so it changes less over time than muslin does. |
| Best for | Blossom Skirt suits everyday wear and lazy warm days when the lightest, most breathable option matters most. | Bloom Skort suits active play and climbing, when built-in shorts under the skirt give a parent one less thing to think about. |
Choose Blossom Skirt if you want the lightest, most breathable fabric for hot days and one that keeps getting softer the more it's washed and worn.
Choose Bloom Skort if your toddler is always climbing, running or turning upside down and you want shorts built in under the skirt.
