Frequently Asked Questions about Kids Frock

What is a paithani frock for baby girl?

A paithani frock combines traditional Maharashtrian paithani silk-cotton fabric recognisable by its peacock and parrot zari motifs cut into a kid-friendly frock silhouette. It's the festive version of a paithani saree, made wearable for young girls. Paithani frocks are ideal for festivals like Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, Maharashtrian weddings, family milestone events, and milestone photoshoots. Available from baby sizes (6 months-1 year) up to 11-12 years.

What sizes are available for kids frocks?

Kids frocks come in sizes 0-6 months, 6 months-1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, 3-4 years, 4-5 years, 5-6 years, 6-7 years, 7-8 years, 8-9 years, 9-10 years, 10-11 years, and 11-12 years.

Which fabrics are best for daily wear vs festival kids frocks?
