Dolce & Gabbana Kids: Sicily in children's sizes since 2012

Domenico Dolce, born in Polizzi Generosa in Sicily in 1958, and Stefano Gabbana, born in Milan in 1962, showed their first women's collection in 1985 in the New Talents section of Milan Fashion Week and produced their first collection themselves in March 1986. Sicily has been the house's main source of inspiration from its fourth collection on: the black of the Sicilian widow, the lace, the lemons, the painted carts and the ceramics. The children's line came in July 2012, announced that June as daywear, beachwear, accessories and shoes for newborns to ten-year-olds, and has since grown into a full collection for girls, boys and newborns; the newborn line on the brand's own site runs to 30 months. The kids line does not simplify: the same prints, ruffles and colour as the women's collection, cut for a child.

The Maiolica print: Sicilian ceramics on dresses, skirts and swimwear

Maiolica, or majolica, is the tin-glazed pottery that reached Sicily in the ninth century and is still made in Caltagirone, and Dolce & Gabbana has used its painted tiles as a print for about twenty years. In the kids collection at Paul Zeist it is the biggest group, twenty-four pieces, mostly in orange with blue and yellow: the Maiolica Sun Dress and Maiolica Halter Dress, the Maiolica Midi Skirt and Mini Skirt, the Maiolica Off-Shoulder Tops in orange and purple, the Maiolica Crop Top, the Maiolica Shorts in orange and purple, the Maiolica Tie T-Shirt, the Maiolica Bikini, One-Shoulder Swimsuit and Kaftan, and the Maiolica Peak Cap, Padded Headband, Hair Clip and Tote Bag. For boys there are the Maiolica T-Shirt in red, the Maiolica Trim T-Shirt and the Maiolica Swim Shorts in red, and for babies the Maiolica Baby Dress and Bloomers, Baby Bermuda Shorts, Baby T-Shirts and Baby Headband. The Maiolica Flat Slides in orange and purple and the Maiolica Sandals complete it in Dolce & Gabbana Kids' Shoes.

Dolce & Gabbana girls dresses: floral bouquet, hydrangea, peony

Twelve dresses, and the flowers tell them apart. The Floral Bouquet Midi Dress and the Floral Bouquet Flutter-Sleeve Dress are the mixed-flower print on white; the Hydrangea Sun Dress, in a tiered version and one with ruffle straps, the Hydrangea Skirt T-Shirt Dress and the Peony Sun Dress and Peony Long-Sleeve Dress are single flowers in blue and pink. For autumn there are the Grey Tweed Pinafore Dress and the Double-Breasted Check Dress in grey, and the Cool Girl Hooded Dress in black is the one with a hood. All are in Dolce & Gabbana Kids Dresses and, with other brands, in girls' dresses.

Dolce & Gabbana girls skirts, tops and T-shirts

The skirts match the dresses: the Floral Bouquet Skirt, the Hydrangea Pleated and Gathered Skirts, the Peony Ruffle Skirt, the Leopard Skater Skirt and, for school, the Pleated Tartan Skirt in red in three versions, the Pleated Check Skirt in grey and the Chevron Tweed Skater Skirt. On top go the off-shoulder tops, Maiolica, Butterfly in blue and Mixed Floral, the Floral One-Shoulder Top, the Butterfly Puff-Sleeve Top, the Hydrangea Ruffle Top and the Floral Peplum Top in black, and for colder days the Chevron and Peony Mock-Neck Tops, the Cropped D&G Logo Hoodie in sand and the Meadow Hooded Cardigan. The T-shirts are the logo pieces: the Dolce & Gabbana Logo T-Shirt and DG Logo T-Shirt in white, the Floral Logo Tie-Front T-Shirt, the Leopard-Sleeve Logo T-Shirt in black and the Flower Appliqué T-Shirt with its raised flowers.

Dolce & Gabbana kids sizes and size guide

Dolce & Gabbana sizes children by age, months for the newborn line and years for girls and boys, and the cut is Italian, which means slim; retailers in the UK note that it runs slightly narrower than British sizing. Our Dolce & Gabbana kids size guide and Dolce & Gabbana baby size guide give the measurements per size, so measure your child rather than go by age; between two sizes, take the larger one, and for a sun dress or a sandal buy to fit. The kids pieces on the brand's own site are listed as made in Italy; the product page shows the composition and origin per piece.

Frequently asked questions

Which ages does Dolce & Gabbana Kids cover?

The newborn line on the brand's own site runs to 30 months, and the girls' and boys' lines are sized by year. At Paul Zeist the newborn pieces are in Dolce & Gabbana Baby, the rest in Girls and Boys; each product page shows the sizes in stock.

Does Dolce & Gabbana kids clothing run small?

The cut is Italian and slim, and UK retailers note it runs slightly narrower than British sizing. Measure your child and use the Dolce & Gabbana kids size guide; between two sizes take the larger one, especially for dresses with a fitted bodice.

What is the Maiolica print?

Maiolica is the tin-glazed, hand-painted pottery of Sicily, made in Caltagirone since the Arabs brought the technique in the ninth century. Dolce & Gabbana prints its tiles on fabric, in the kids collection mostly in orange with blue and yellow: dresses, skirts, tops, swimwear, slides and headbands all carry it.

How do I wash Dolce & Gabbana kids clothes?

Follow the care label; the composition is on each product page. Printed cotton and jersey pieces are usually washed at 30 degrees inside out and dried flat, away from the dryer, so the print and the ruffles keep their shape; tweed, tulle and appliqué pieces we advise to have cleaned professionally.

How much is a Dolce & Gabbana kids dress?

At Paul Zeist the dresses are 445 to 745 euros, skirts 295 to 645, tops 325 to 425, T-shirts from 155 euros for a baby T-shirt, shorts from 195, swimwear 185 to 495 and sandals 115 to 395 euros. End-of-season pieces are in kids' sale.
