Kids Dashiki Size Guide: How to Choose the Right Size

A dashiki is a brilliant choice for culture days at school, Black History Month, weddings, church and family celebrations. Getting the size right makes all the difference to how comfortable it is and how good it looks. Here's how to choose.

Our kids dashiki sizes

Our Kids African Dashiki Shirt comes in five age bands:

• 3–6 years
• 6–8 years
• 8–10 years
• 10–12 years
• 12–14 years

How to choose the right size

• Start with your child's age. Pick the age band your child is in now.
• Check the size chart. Children of the same age vary a lot, so compare your child's measurements against the size chart in the product images before you order.
• If they're between sizes, go up. The shirts are 100% cotton with no stretch, so the bigger size will be more comfortable and give room to grow.
• Think about the occasion. Dashikis are designed for a relaxed, loose fit. For a smarter look at a wedding or church, the size that matches their age usually looks best.

Caring for a cotton dashiki

• Hand washing is recommended.
• Wash separately the first time, as bright dyes may fade slightly in the first wash.
• Dry away from direct heat to keep the cotton soft.

Matching outfits for the family

Many families like to coordinate for special occasions. Our adult Tribal Dashiki Summer Shirt comes in sizes XS to XL in many of the same colourways, so parents and children can match.
