Why every Princess Awesome garment has pockets.

The original Princess Awesome thesis was a complaint: girls' clothes don't have pockets. Run a hand through any standard-cut girls' dress + odds are the pockets are decorative, sewn-shut, or absent entirely. The reasoning offered (when offered) is that pockets ruin the silhouette or that girls don't carry things. Both are nonsense. Princess Awesome's 35-piece kids dresses line reverses this — every garment, kids + adult, has functional deep pockets that fit phones + rocks + library cards + dinosaur figurines + the actual stuff kids carry.

Where Princess Awesome sits in the kids-clothing market

Anti-stereotype kids clothing is a small but loyal category. Brands like Princess Awesome & Boy Wonder, Buddy & the Little Lion, Free To Be Kids, Tea Collection, Hanna Andersson serve parents who want their kids dressed beyond gendered defaults — the dad who wants his daughter in a T-Rex shirt, the mom who wants her son in a butterfly print. Princess Awesome's distinct angle is the STEM print catalog — dresses + shirts with prints that visibly say "this kid loves science / dragons / dinosaurs / books" rather than the default girls'-clothing aesthetic of pink + sparkles + butterflies. The brand was Kickstarter-funded in 2014 and grew through community + social-proof channels. Curated by parents, science teachers, and STEM advocates.

— what parents want to know —

Do every Princess Awesome garment really have pockets?

Yes — pockets are the brand's defining feature. Every dress, every shirt, every pair of leggings, every set of shorts, every pair of joggers in the catalog has functional deep pockets. Adult dresses too. The Adult Pants and Adult Leggings have pockets. The skirts have pockets. The shorts have pockets. The brand's name + Kickstarter origin story + entire mission is built around the deep-pocket commitment.

What sizes do the kids dresses come in?

Kids dresses come in sizes 2T through 14 typically. Specific size charts appear on each product page. For mom-and-me matching: the adult dresses generally cover S through 3X to accommodate matching looks across body types. Size charts include actual measurements + recommendations for between-sizes.

Are these dresses for special occasions or everyday wear?

Both — depending on the piece. The Dragon Ballerina with Detachable Wings reads as a special-occasion / costume / dance-recital piece. The Solar System Busy Dress is everyday-wear coded. Most of the catalog can swing either way — twirly enough for special days, durable enough for school + park + library days.

How do the prints hold up after washes?

All-over print quality is good — the prints are dyed-in (sublimation printing) rather than screen-printed on top, so they don't crack or peel like screen prints can. Care: machine wash cold inside-out, tumble dry low or air-dry. Avoid bleach. Most pieces hold their print clarity for 50+ washes with proper care.

Are the dresses true to size or do they run small/large?

Most kids dresses run true to size by the brand's published size chart. Some pieces (twirler-style with extra fabric in the skirt) read fuller in volume but standard in chest/torso. Adult dresses generally run true to size. Each product page includes specific size-chart measurements + reviews from parents who report fit notes — read the reviews if your kid is between sizes.

Can boys wear Princess Awesome too?

Yes — the brand explicitly extends to all kids regardless of gender. The brand name ("& Boy Wonder") was added to make this explicit. Many of the prints (dragons, space, dinosaurs, video game controllers, art cats) are not gender-coded; they're STEM/fandom-coded. Kids of any gender can wear any piece.

Do the adult dresses match the kids dresses for mom-and-me photos?

Yes for most popular prints. The Solar System print, Books / Lost in the Stacks print, Dragons prints, and Origami Birds prints all have both kids' and adults' versions in the catalog. Lost in the Stacks Adult matches the kids' version for library + book-fair photo days. Night Lights Planets & Moons Adult Twirler matches solar system kids dresses for planetarium + museum photo days. Check the kids' + adult collections side by side to find specific matching pairs.
