What fabric is best for making children's clothes? This is a common question parents ask, especially first-timers.
Our little ones always come first, and when it comes to buying clothes for them, we always have the same questions about fabrics. We focus on finding a fabric that won't cause irritation or allergies, and sometimes this task can be a real challenge.
There's a wide variety of children's clothing, and to be honest, we'd love to be able to buy everything, but before that, we need to make sure the fabric is soft to the touch and, above all, pleasant for the sensitive skin of the princes and princesses in the house.
The fabric shouldn't be too thick because children's temperature is constantly changing, so the fabric must adapt to these temperature changes. Another crucial factor when choosing a fabric is that it must be breathable.
The fabric of choice for making children's clothing is cotton, as it meets all the characteristics mentioned above. It's breathable and comfortable.
Cotton
100% cotton fabric is soft and perfect for making children's clothing, especially for newborns. As we mentioned, it's breathable and provides a warm feeling, while also being very soft to the touch, as it's made from a very fine thread. This type of fabric is very popular for making christening gowns.
Do you know why it's so important to choose fabrics that dry quickly? It may seem like a silly question, but it isn't. Little ones get dirty incredibly often, and that means we need to change them, so you either have an endless wardrobe or you need to buy fabrics that dry quickly. This is one of the many reasons why parents prefer cotton when buying clothes.
At Doña Carmen, we make all our garments with the utmost care and, of course, with top-quality materials. Almost all of our garments are made from cotton and acrylic. You may not know much about this fabric, but we'll answer all your questions.
Acrylic
Acrylic is a very soft fabric to the touch and is known as synthetic wool. Its advantages are: it's more economical than wool, durable, and above all, easier to maintain. This fabric is primarily used for making children's jackets.
Knit fabric is a favorite among parents when choosing clothing for their little ones. It's soft and breathable. Another advantage is that knit fabric is more stretchy than other types of fabric, making it ideal for adapting to children's movements and rapid growth.
Another type of fabric that is widely used for making children's clothing is chiffon. This fabric Semi-transparent is similar to cotton, but thinner and more transparent. It's an ideal fabric for making small dresses. In fact, this fabric is frequently used for muslins for children. Its feel is so pleasant and soft that it's sometimes difficult for children to peel it off.
One aspect we should always keep in mind is waterproof fabrics. It's very important to keep this factor in mind when purchasing blankets, sheets, bibs , nursing pads, etc. To achieve this, we recommend purchasing accessories made of polyurethane-laminated polyester; this type of material is primarily used on the outside of diapers. You must ensure that the fabric is breathable and that our little one feels comfortable at all times.

Remember that children's skin is much more delicate, and our children don't mind wearing the most striking or beautiful garments; they just want comfortable clothes they can run and play in freely. The fabric you choose will go a long way toward making them feel safe. So choose wisely and avoid being tempted by synthetic fabrics, even if they're very eye-catching.
