Kids' Party & Occasion Wear
Party & occasion wear from MINOTI covers the smarter days, from a baby's christening to a teenager's end-of-year party. It is for babies, girls and boys from newborn to age 15, so brothers and sisters can be dressed for the same wedding from one place. Pick an outfit for a family photo, a birthday party or Christmas Day, and put a jumper on top if the venue is cold.
Party clothes are usually worn only a few times, so buy for the height your child will be on the day. As a guide, a 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm, a 7-year-old 128 cm and a 12-year-old 158 cm. If the event is months away, measure again the week before. Smarter pieces can need gentler washing than everyday clothes, so read the care label before the first wash and hang outfits up straight after the day.

Your questions answered
MINOTI's Party & Occasion collection contains smarter clothes for weddings, christenings, birthday parties and Christmas for babies, girls and boys aged 0 to 15, sized in centimetres by height, where a 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm.
What size party outfit should I buy for a 5-year-old?
Most 5-year-olds take 116 cm. If your child is tall for their age or the party is several months away, go up to 122 cm. Measure their height before ordering and compare it with the size shown on the product page.
How can I keep my child's party outfit clean on the day?
Pack a spare top for children under 3, as food and drink cause most marks. Dress them just before you leave, and wash the outfit soon after the event so stains do not set, following the care label.
