Buying guide: choosing a silk frock for a girl
Why a silk frock? It gives you the richness of a pattu pavadai in one piece, so there is just one thing to put on. That makes it the easy pick for babies and toddlers, for long functions, and for anyone who has tried to keep a two-piece blouse tucked in during a temple queue.
Short or long? A knee-length pattu frock is lighter and easier to play in, which suits poojas, naming ceremonies, birthdays and Pongal. A long pattu gown reads more formal and photographs beautifully at weddings, receptions, Diwali and Navratri evenings.
Fabric notes. Heavier silks have more body and sheen for photos; chanderi and lighter silk weaves are kinder on hot days. Velvet yokes and tissue skirts add warmth, which helps for winter weddings in North India, Canada or the USA.

Silk Frock for Girls FAQs
Pattu frock or pattu pavadai?
A pattu frock is one piece and quicker to dress a young child in. A pattu pavadai is the traditional long skirt and blouse, often chosen for ceremonies and photos. Both are here, in ready stock.
Is a silk frock comfortable for a baby?
Pick a design with a soft lining at the yoke and no loose embellishment near the face, and keep heavier silk for short functions. For everyday, a chanderi frock is lighter.
How do I choose the right size?
Check the Nesavu size chart (chest and length by age) or use Find my size on any product page. If she is between two sizes, pick the bigger one. A size exchange is free within 7 days in India.
Which silk frock suits a wedding or Diwali?
A long pattu gown or a frock with a zari or Banarasi border. For a North Indian wedding you might also like a lehenga choli.
How do I wash a silk frock?
Follow the care note on the product page. As a rule, silk and zari frocks are dry clean (gentle hand washing is for everyday cotton wear), then store them folded in a cotton cloth.
How fast will it arrive?
Everything here is ready stock, not made to order. Orders placed before about 2 PM (India time) usually leave the same day, and almost always within 1-3 business days (these are regular timelines; festive and sale rushes can stretch them by a few days). Within India you get a 7-day exchange, and you can also try sizes at our four showrooms in Coimbatore, Salem, Erode and Tiruppur.
Do you ship silk frocks abroad?
Yes. We ship worldwide, and families in Singapore, Malaysia, Canada and the USA order from us often. Prices show in INR, international orders leave in 3-5 business days and usually arrive in 7-15 working days, and import duties are paid on delivery. International orders cannot be returned or exchanged through us (two-way shipping costs more than the outfit), though we can help you swap through family in India, so message us on WhatsApp +91 80989 91122 with your child's measurements and we will confirm the size before you pay.
