It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

We didn't mean to wait until "Black Friday" to reveal our Holiday dressses, but a stomach bug put us behind schedule.  We're back on track and could hardly wait to show you what we've been working on!  We have four styles of dresses, all "jumper" styles to be worn over a shirt, top, turtleneck or onesie. 


Snowflake Pinafore



Shown above is our Snowflake Pinafore.  The very full skirt is gathered onto a fully lined bodice.  The bodice and skirt band are red cotton and the skirt and straps are a red, white and green snowflake print.  The apron is fully lined, white cotton embellished with giant Ric Rac and red embroidered snowflakes, two of which are aprx. 2-1/2 inches and the largest is about 3-1/2 inches.  While each apron features one large and two smaller snowflakes each one is different - just like real snowflakes!!  So each Snowflake Pinafore is unique.  The shoulder straps slip through a buttonhole and tie in a knot, which makes adjustment simple. The skirt is very full. 

The Snowflake Pinafore is available for $45.95 in the following sizes:  6-12 mos. ( 17-23 pounds), 12-18 months (22-27 pounds), 18-24 months (27-30 pounds).  Other sizes available by custom order: 2T, 3T, 4T ($7 additional) and 5, 6, 7, 8 ($10 additional).  Please email for additional sizing questions.

There's room on the bodice to embroider your little girl's monogram or even a short name.

Candy Cane


Our classic A-line style Candy Cane jumper features two candy canes appliqued in the center front with a white grosgrain bow tied in the center (the grosgrain ribbon is securely sewn on).  The candy canes, hem band and covered buttons are all in a coordinating fabric with holly leaves and berries.  White Ric Rac sets off the hem band. Partially lined (self-facings and hem band.)

The Candy Cane jumper is available for $34.95 in the following sizes:  Small (13-17 pounds), Medium (18-21 pounds) and Large (22-25 pounds).  Other sizes available by special order, as are Little Brother Shortalls (short overalls).  Email with any questions about sizing. 

Here's a close-up of a covered button,which shows the pattern of the coordinating fabric.



Shiny Brite


Our Shiny Brite Dress is a "pillow case" style - A-line skirt with ribbon ties at the shoulder.  Our Shiny Brite dress has a modern flair to it, with the red, bright and light pink and lime and grass green retro-look garland with snowflake accent patterned fabric.  For our Pink/Lime version showsn above, we've added bright and light pink stripe ribbon ties.  We've appliqued a pink ornament with pink and lime stitching, dangling from Giant Lime Green Ric Rac, topped off with a bow which matches the ties. Embroider your little one's monogram in Lime on the Ornament (included in the price!!). 

We can also make the ornament in red or green, with the giant Ric Rac in Red, and Red ribbon ties at the shoulder. Just let us know!  For either colorway, the monogram is available in cursive or block font.  Shown below is a close up of a red ornament with the monogram in cursive.

Shiny Brite is available for $29.95 in small (13-17 pounds), medium (18-21) and large (22-25 pounds).  Other sizes available by special order - please email for more info.



Peppermint Patty

Here's another pillow case style dress, in an all over peppermint print with an appliqued peppermint and tulle "wrapper".  Red ribbon ties at shoulder.  Here's a close up of the peppermint applique.



Peppermint Patty pillowcase dress is available for $24.95 in small (13-17 pounds), medium (18-21 pounds) and large (22-25 pounds).  Other sizes available too - please email for more info! 

Pillowcase style dresses are very versatile because they can be worn for more than one season - just let out the ribbon ties a bit and/or pair them with leggings for a tunic look.

Care information for our dresses:  Each dress has been hand made using quality materials.  All fabrics have been pre-washed.  Our clothing features LOTS of embellishments.  For best results, we recommend hand washing in cold water, no bleach, do not wring, hang or lay flat to dry.  Iron fabrics on cotton setting, steam and spray starch recommended. Iron embellishments (ribbons, tulle, embroidery, etc. on warm setting only!).  We've noticed that buttons now have a warning on the label: don't use on clothes for children under age 14, which is a little ridiculous, but common sense precautions are in order.  Make sure buttons or other embellishments are secure before each use.  Covered buttons are two-piece, please check to make sure they're secure before each use.

Stocking Stuffers

In a previous post, we featured our Handmade Felt Hair Barrettes.  They make great stocking stuffers, gifts, and coordinate perfectly with our Holiday Dresses!
