Flap Happy Girls Laya Short Sleeve Tee Dress, UPF 50+ Sun Protection, Quick-Dry Lightweight Play Dress

Meet the Flap Happy Laya Short Sleeve Tee Dress - the easy, twirl-ready play dress that brings our trusted UPF 50+ sun protection to an everyday favorite. Whether she’s chasing waves, exploring the playground, or heading to preschool, this girl’s dress keeps her covered while feeling light and comfy. Our performance knit blends 92% polyester with 8% spandex for quick-dry convenience and flexible, four-way stretch; it dries fast after pool splashes or sweaty recess so skin stays more comfortable and helps reduce irritation or diaper rash for younger kids. Unlike some sun-protective fabrics that can feel heavy, the Laya is breathable and soft with an easy pullover fit that lets children move, climb, and dance without restriction. The gathered waist and tee-dress silhouette create a cute A-line shape that pairs with sneakers or sandals for school days and weekend adventures alike. Parents love the bright prints and the way they last. Our special production process keeps colors vibrant and fade-resistant through sun, saltwater, chlorine, and repeated machine washing. For best results, machine wash cold and hang dry - simple care that protects the look, feel, and stretch of the fabric. From picture day to beach day, it’s an essentials piece that works as an easy school-uniform alternative, a comfortable travel outfit, or a lightweight cover-up over a swimsuit. Designed and tested in sunny Malibu, California since 1987, Flap Happy focuses on fit that works for real kids. We fine-tune lengths, necklines, and sleeve shapes so the dress looks sweet while staying practical for active play. Available in baby and toddler sizes through little-kid sizes, the Laya makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, vacations, and the first day of school. Choose her favorite print - like Flamingo Party - and let her style it with a cardigan when the weather cools.
