Short Sleeve Skater Dress - Astro Explorers
The Loulou Lollipop Short Sleeve Skater Dress in Astro Explorers is a fit-and-flare cut — fitted body, twirl-friendly skirt, short sleeves, snap closure at the bottom for diaper changes. The dress that lets babies and toddlers actually move — crawl, sit, climb, twirl — without bunching, riding up, or losing shape.
TENCEL™ Lyocell with spandex for stretch and recovery.
Why TENCEL™ Lyocell and not standard bamboo rayon? TENCEL™ wicks moisture measurably better than standard bamboo rayon, so fewer damp wake-ups and fewer mid-meal regret outfits. It also holds its softness wash after wash, where bamboo rayon starts to pill. Closed-loop manufacturing recycles the water and the solvent — a real sustainability claim, not greenwashing.
For a dress that gets photographed at a birthday party and worn through cake, ice cream, and a melt-down nap, the durability and colour-fastness difference is what parents notice by month three. Bamboo rayon fades; TENCEL™ holds.
Naturally hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating, gentle on sensitive skin (eczema-friendly). Flat seams + printed inner care label prevent irritation. Lap shoulder for easy newborn dressing on smaller sizes; standard neckline on toddler sizes.
Cut and fit. Sized newborn through toddler. The skater cut gives babies (and especially crawling toddlers) more room than a sheath or A-line cut — they can sit on the floor, climb a couch cushion, and pull off the skirt without it riding up. Snap closure at the bottom means it functions as a bodysuit dress without looking like one.
The design. Astro Explorers is a Loulou Lollipop original, conceived in Vancouver. We rotate designs seasonally — each design is a limited annual run, retired once it sells through, never reprinted.
Coordinated wardrobe. Pair with the matching Short Sleeve Bodysuit, Short Sleeve Bodysuit Dress, and 0.5 TOG Muslin Sleep Sack for a fully matched summer outfit + sleep set. The matched-design library is what separates Loulou Lollipop from sleep-only and dress-only brands — a baby shower gift can cover the whole nursery without buying from three brands.
Safety & certification. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified facility (no harmful chemicals in fiber or dye). CPSC and CPSIA compliant. TENCEL™ Lyocell produced in a closed-loop process that recycles water and solvents. Designed in Canada by a Certified B Corp.
Care. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Don't bleach. TENCEL™ holds shape and colour wash after wash — important for a dress that gets photographed.
Sizing note. Newborn fits 2.3–3.6 kg / 5–8 lb; 0–3M fits 3.6–5.4 kg / 8–12 lb; 3–6M fits 5.4–7.7 kg / 12–17 lb; 6–9M fits 7.7–9.1 kg / 17–20 lb; 9–12M fits 9.1–10.0 kg / 20–22 lb; 12–18M fits 10.0–11.3 kg / 22–25 lb; 18–24M fits 11.3–12.7 kg / 25–28 lb. When in doubt, size up — the fit-and-flare cut handles a little extra room cleanly and the skirt holds shape better with growth space.
Loulou Lollipop's TENCEL™ position, in plain English. Most "bamboo" baby dresses are bamboo rayon, which loses softness fast and fades within a season. TENCEL™ Lyocell is the next-generation TENCEL™ process from the same fiber family — same softness, measurably better wicking and durability, closed-loop production. Loulou Lollipop is one of the few baby apparel brands building the whole catalog on TENCEL™.
A clean choice for a first birthday party, a family photo, or the everyday twirl-around-the-living-room. Built for both.

- Soft, comfy, beautiful fit and the skirt twirls!
My granddaughter is a joyful in this dress. Who doesn't stop to drink in that kind of happy!
Bought this dress last week and it’s so pretty. My 3 year old loves it. Twirl dress with pockets! Planning to buy more when there’s new designs
My daughter is obsessed with this dress. I often find little things in her pockets. She loves twirling and swishing her skirts around! The thickness and quality of the tencel is astounding
A perfect dress for a girl. It’s easy to put on and take off, the colors don’t fade after washing, it has 2 deep pockets. My daughter loves it very much
Such a cute dress. We love the style of this dress and it even has pockets! My daughter loves the puppy print! Highly recommend. Such nice quality and fabric.
My girls absolutely love these dresses, and I am obsessed with the bow on the back. The fabric is extremely smooth, soft, and stretchy. Perfect!!
LOVE these dresses! My daughter has been wearing them for years now; soft, comfy, beautiful fit and the skirt twirls ;)
The dress is amazing. I love to see my granddaughter twirl. She loves these dresses.
One of my favourite things from Loulou is their skater dress! Fabric is incredible. Such a cute pattern and is so beautiful when worn. My daughter loves her skater dresses, she can twirl all day!
Buttery, and it will fit my daughter for longer then 5 seconds. Beautful print. Its a richer color blue and pink IRL.
These dresses are of superb quality. My granddaughters love them - they twirl and twirl. The dresses last and last, launder well and look great!
This is my daughter's favourite dress. She asks to wear it all the time. It's comfy, she loves how it flows, and appreciates having pockets. I just wish it came in adult sizes!
Beautiful, fun dresses that hold us well to washing and use. My daughter loves the flowy skirt and pockets
My daughter LOVES this dress. I find it snags easily and the color has faded with wash are my only complaints and reasoning for giving this a 4 star. I like the look of the waffle print but prefer the quality of the flat bamboo skater dresses over this one.
My daughter LOVES this dress. Wears it at least once a week. As a mama I love that it's long so she'll get lots of years of wear
Definitely a five star review for the peach skater dress! My granddaughter loves it!
The twirling skirt and the side pockets! A big hit.
Purchased again - these are my daughter's favourite dresses! The material is so comfy, they fit beautifully and she loves to twirl in the skirt.

The best dress for any toddler obsessed with twirly dresses! Beautiful prints and material and the customer service is absolutely amazing. We had an issue with our first purchase and my email was responded to promptly with such care and kindness. Will definitely be buying more of these from this amazing company as my girls grow!
My daughter loves how these dresses twirl, have pockets, and I love how much they can grow with her. Fantastic purchase.
My 4-year old niece desperately wanted a dress that "twirled big" and this absolutely made her twirling dreams come true. Quality is excellent, too!
The colour is not as vibrant as in the photo so that is disappointing - I was expecting a deeper colour burgundy but it is more pale bordering on pink - hopefully will be liked by my grands daughters the fabric is soft and the skirt nicely flared … will spin well !
