Monnalisa: an Italian girls' brand from Arezzo since 1968

Monnalisa was founded in 1968 in Arezzo, in Tuscany, by Piero Iacomoni and Barbara Bertocci, and the company is still based there. It started as a girls' brand and that is what it remains: dresses, skirts and tops in which a girl can look like a girl, with tulle, flowers, bows, hearts, sequins and faux fur as the recurring ingredients, and a baby line that carries the same ideas into the smallest sizes. The brand dresses children from newborn to 16 years, sells in more than 50 countries through its own stores, department stores and shops like ours, and has been listed on the Milan stock exchange since 2018. Monnalisa is the brand parents choose for the occasion dress, the wedding, the first communion or the Christmas photograph, and then discover for the pieces around it.

Monnalisa girls dresses: tulle, tiered and knit

The dress is the heart of Monnalisa. At Paul Zeist you find the Magnolia Tulle Midi Dress in blush pink, the long tulle dress for a party, the Flower Brooch Tiered Dress in pink with its fabric flower at the shoulder, the Tulle Skirt Knit Dress in ivory, which combines a knitted top with a tulle skirt, the Crystal Crest A-Line Dress in dark navy with the crystal crest, the Chenille Wrap-Knot Dress in black and the Striped Shirt Dress in cream and light blue for daytime. Each is cut with a fitted bodice and a full skirt, the Monnalisa silhouette. All are in Monnalisa Kids Dresses; for more occasion dresses see girls' dresses.

Monnalisa skirts, tops and jackets

The tutu is the second Monnalisa signature: the Tulle Tutu Skirt in antique rose, the Layered Tulle Tutu Skirt in sand and the Pleated Tulle Gala Skirt in ecru. Next to them the Prince of Wales Pleated Skirt in ecru and beige and the Prince of Wales Flared Skirt in red and white, the Monogram Box-Pleated Skirt in dark navy, the Tweed Flounce Skirt in aqua green, the Butterfly Print Full Skirt in cream and pink and the Levantina Stretch Mini Skirt in pink, all in Monnalisa Kids Skirts. The tops are made to pair with them: the Logo Bar Mock-Neck Tops in cream, ecru and navy melange, the Monogram Rib Mock-Neck Top in black, the Tweed Crop Tops in aqua green and antique rose, the Butterfly Print Knot Crop Top, the Striped Peplum Top and the Crystal Crest Polo Top. For the top layer there are the Faux Fur Bolero Jacket in cream, the Hooded Faux Fur Jacket in dark brown, the Tweed Cropped Jacket in aqua green, the Coated Spencer Jacket in black, the Monogram Double-Breasted Blazer in dark navy and the Bouclé Peter Pan Collar Coat in ecru, with the Monogram Plush Sweater and the Frilled Cuff Mock-Neck Sweater for colder days.

Monnalisa shoes and accessories: ballerinas, Mary Janes and the heart bag

Monnalisa makes the shoes to go with its dresses. We carry the Pompom Patent Ballerinas in ecru, the Patent Bow Mary Janes in white, the Jewelled Buckle Slingback Ballerinas in white, the Polka Dot Flower Sandals in white and pink for summer and the Heart Tab Lug Sole Boots in black for winter; compare with girls' ballet flats. The Heart-Shaped Chain Bag in cream, the Round Buckle Belt in black and the Heart Print Bucket Hat in pink and cream finish the look.

Monnalisa Baby: dresses and sets from newborn

The baby line takes the same tulle and flowers down to the smallest sizes. At Paul Zeist you find the Baby Floral Tulle Dress in pink, the Baby Floral Tiered Dress in white, the Baby Rosette Lamé Dress in light pink, the Baby Floral Garland Jersey Dress and the Baby Check Romper Dress in antique rose, the Baby Rose Bodysuit and Tulle Bloomer Set in cream and pink, the Baby Cable Jacquard Footed Romper, the Baby Crepe Bolero Cardigan and, for summer, the Baby Floral Gingham Ruffle Bikini. Everything is in Monnalisa Baby.

Monnalisa sizes and fit: newborn to 16 years

Monnalisa sizes by age: newborn from 0 to 9 months, baby and toddler from 3 to 36 months, girls from 2 to 12 years and a teen range from 13 to 16 years. The dresses have a fitted bodice and a full skirt, so order the usual age size for the right length and one size up if your daughter is tall or between sizes; a tutu skirt with an elasticated waist is more forgiving. The Monnalisa kids size guide and the Monnalisa baby size guide give the measurements per size, and in our kids' store in Zeist you can try the dress on with the shoes.

How to care for Monnalisa tulle and faux fur

Tulle, sequins, crystals and faux fur ask for care by hand or on the gentlest cycle. Wash tulle dresses and tutus inside out in a laundry bag at 30 degrees or by hand, hang them to dry and never iron the tulle directly; faux fur jackets are not for the washing machine but for the dry cleaner, and the patent shoes only need a damp cloth. Follow the care label of each piece; the composition is on the product page.

Frequently asked questions

Which ages does Monnalisa make clothes for?

From newborn to 16 years: a newborn range from 0 to 9 months, baby and toddler sizes from 3 to 36 months, girls from 2 to 12 years and a teen range from 13 to 16. At Paul Zeist the baby pieces are in Monnalisa Baby and the girls' pieces on this page; the sizes in stock are on each product page.

Does Monnalisa run small?

The dresses have a fitted bodice and a full skirt, so they fit the usual age size in length; take one size up if your daughter is tall for her age or if the dress has to last a second season. Tutu skirts and tops with stretch are more forgiving. The Monnalisa kids size guide has the measurements per size.

Where is Monnalisa from?

How do I wash a Monnalisa tulle dress?

By hand or on the gentlest cycle at 30 degrees, inside out in a laundry bag, then hung to dry; do not iron the tulle directly and keep sequins and crystals away from the dryer. Faux fur jackets go to the dry cleaner. Follow the care label of the piece.
