Why the Daisy Top Gets Worn Again (and Again)?

May 12, 2025

Daisy Top and Bandana Set for girls.

Because kids' clothes should be soft, simple, and built for real life.

If you’ve ever bought a cute outfit only to have your kid refuse to wear it, you’re not alone.

Maybe the fabric’s stiff. Maybe it rides up or feels weird. Maybe it just never gets chosen from the drawer, no matter how adorable it is.

I remember that frustration—and it’s part of why I made the Daisy Top.

This is one of those rare pieces that’s beautiful and practical. Handmade with care, but made to be lived in.

Not just for photo ops, but for real days. Long ones. Messy ones. Playful, in-between ones.

So let’s talk about the real questions moms ask—and how this top answers them.

“Will it still fit in a few months?”

Yes—because it’s made to grow.

The Daisy Top has adjustable straps and a flexible, forgiving shape. It fits comfortably across seasons and stages—so you’re not cycling it out after just a handful of wears.

We size up to 6/7Y, and I’m happy to make custom sizes for older kids, too. Just send measurements.

“Is it only for summer?”

Not at all.

While it’s a breathable summer top for kids, it layers beautifully. On its own in the sun, over a tee in the spring, or under a cardigan in fall—it’s one of those pieces you don’t have to pack away.

Light, comfy, and wearable all year.

“Will my kid actually like wearing it?”

That’s one of the things I hear most from moms—how surprised they are that their kid reaches for it.

The yarn is soft and lightweight—a natural cotton and bamboo blend that’s gentle on even the most sensitive skin.

No scratchy seams. No tightness. Nothing stiff or synthetic.

One mom told me her daughter wore it three days in a row—and only agreed to take it off because it needed washing. Another said her child who’s usually picky about texture “didn’t even notice it was new—she just kept playing.”

This is comfort they can feel—and that you can see.

“Do I have to hand wash it?”

Nope. It’s fully machine washable.

Because laundry is already enough of a mountain without delicate-care instructions.

The Daisy Top is made to be used, loved, and washed without worry.

“What if I need a different size or color?”

That’s part of the magic—you can customize it.

Every top is handmade to order or chosen from a small ready-to-ship batch.

Choose from our signature palettes or ask for a custom color combo at no extra cost.

Need a different size? Just let me know. I’ll make it happen.

“Is it really worth the price?”

I believe so—and here’s why.
This isn’t a fast fashion piece. It’s made slowly, with care and intention, using high-quality natural yarns and time-tested techniques.

But more importantly, it’s made to last through real life—not just look cute in a photo.

You’ll get more seasons out of it.

It won’t sit unworn in a drawer.

It’ll move through the week with your child, and maybe even get passed down one day.

That’s value that goes beyond the price tag.

Here’s the thing:

You don’t need more clothes.
You need the ones that actually get worn—the ones that fit, feel good, wash well, and don’t make mornings harder.

That’s what the Daisy Top was made for.
