A red long sleeve bodysuit sits underneath a red tartan pinafore, with a soft, dimensional reindeer appliqué on the front, wearing its own little Santa hat and a red bow tie underneath its chin. A small wing shaped detail is stitched at the base of each strap, either side of the reindeer’s head, a nice extra touch that photos well close up. A matching tartan bow headband completes the set.

The buttons on the straps are decorative rather than functional, the pinafore actually goes on and off via the elasticated straps and waistband, so there’s nothing fiddly to fasten. The bodysuit underneath has frill detailing at the shoulders and poppers along the bottom for quick nappy changes.

What Is a Pinafore Dress?

A pinafore is a sleeveless style worn over a top or bodysuit, held up by straps rather than sleeves. Here, that means the bodysuit does the work of keeping arms and shoulders covered, while the pinafore itself is just the tartan skirt and straps layered on top, simple to put on and just as simple to take off again.

Why Parents Choose This Set

Tartan is about as classic as Christmas dressing gets, and a soft, dimensional appliqué like this one photographs better than a flat print, worth knowing if this is going toward a lot of family photos or a first Christmas keepsake.

• Dimensional reindeer appliqué wearing a Santa hat and bow tie, not a flat print
• Decorative wing detail stitched at the base of each strap
• Elasticated straps and waistband, no fiddly fastenings on the pinafore itself
• Frill shoulder detail and popper fastening on the bodysuit for easy changing
• Matching tartan bow headband included
• 95% cotton, 5% spandex for a soft, comfortable fit

What’s Included

All three pieces come together as one set, there’s nothing else to add unless you’d like matching shoes or tights.

Perfect For

This one leans into a specific moment more than most: a baby’s first Christmas, or the first one they’re old enough to really dress up for. It’s also a genuinely popular gift from grandparents, who tend to buy clothing for this exact age range since it gets outgrown so quickly.

• Christmas Day and Christmas Eve
• Family Christmas photos and photoshoots
• Baby’s first Christmas keepsake outfit
• Christmas parties and family gatherings
• A gift from grandparents or other relatives

A Keepsake for Baby’s First Christmas

For a lot of families, this isn’t just another outfit. A baby’s first Christmas tends to get photographed more than almost any other day that year, and outfits from it often get kept afterward rather than passed on. If you’re buying this as a gift, it’s worth choosing with those future photos in mind rather than the price alone, since that’s usually what ends up mattering most.

Buying Ahead as a Gift?

If you’re buying this months before Christmas for a baby who’s still very young, it’s worth sizing up rather than going by their current measurements. Babies can grow through two or three sizes in the run-up to December, and a size that fits comfortably now may be snug by the time it’s actually needed.

Fabric and Care

The set is made from 95% cotton and 5% spandex, soft against the skin with enough stretch for comfort. We recommend hand washing rather than machine washing, and please don’t use bleach. Our guide on how to care for kids’ dresses covers stain removal and keeping delicate details like the appliqué looking good.

Sizing Guide

Sizes run from 0 to 3 months up to 12 to 18 months. Since babies grow at such different rates, we’d recommend using the measurements below rather than age alone, and our baby size guide has more detail if you’re between sizes. Allow a margin of around 3cm either way, since all measurements are taken by hand.
