The In-Between Length, Done Right

Tea-length sits gracefully between knee-length and ankle-length, striking a balance that suits a wide range of occasions. It's dressy enough for weddings and formal portraits, yet leaves enough room for her to walk, sit, and move comfortably throughout the day.

A Versatile Choice for Any Season

Because it sits above the floor, tea-length works well for outdoor celebrations, garden weddings, and warmer-weather events. It also photographs beautifully, showing off the silhouette and detailing of the dress without hiding it beneath a longer skirt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is tea-length?

Tea-length refers to a hemline that falls between the knee and the ankle, typically around mid-calf. It's a classic length that offers more coverage than knee-length while still giving her plenty of room to move.

Is tea-length appropriate for formal occasions?

Yes — tea-length is a popular choice for weddings, flower girl duties, and formal portraits. It offers a polished, elegant look while still being practical for a full day of celebrating.

How do I choose the right size?

Frocklyn dresses are cut with a little added ease for comfortable movement, so they won't feel tight or restrictive. We're sized for girls 2 through 10, with detailed measurements on each product page. Since fit can vary slightly between silhouettes, we recommend checking the size guide on each listing, and reaching out to info@frocklyn.com if you have any queries.

Do you offer custom sizing?

Yes — we offer custom sizing to fit her exact measurements. Fill out our custom order form and our team will get back to you.

How do I care for my Frocklyn pieces?

Occasion pieces are dry clean only — please avoid machine or hand washing, as this can damage the fabric structure and any hand-finished detailing. Do not tumble dry. When unboxing, hang your dress right away so creases fall out naturally, and fluff the skirt layer by layer to restore its shape. Garments can be lightly steamed on a moderate setting, held at least 15cm from the fabric and never directly on beading or appliqué. For storage, keep pieces in a breathable garment bag away from direct light and plastic covers.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 20-day return window on unused, unwashed items in original packaging with tags attached. Custom-sized or altered pieces can't be returned. Exchanges for a different size or color are also available within 20 days and are free, though return shipping is at the customer's expense. To start a return or exchange, email info@frocklyn.com with your order number and photos of the item.
