Summer Sizzle

Crisp cottons, frilly fancy pants, ruffled capris...... just the beginning of summer and we have some fantastic new items for this sunny season. 



What I love about  our signature "Button Dress" is how versatile it is, one year its a dress and the next year its a little shirt with shorts or leggings, they can wear it as is or paired with a little shirt. Its 100% cotton so you know its a great breathable, light weight material for sunny days.


While we find beautiful new fabrics to work with, we also love when we are able to repurpose material. The polk-a-dot dress fabric was an incredible find, previously a baby's bedding sheet now an adorable "Dolly Dress". A great way to re-use, re-purpose and re-make something old into something new, this warms my heart!


Honestly, who can resist ruffles? Capris in an tangerine colour. It is a bit of a departure for us, using a non cotton but the stretch in these is fantastic and again ruffles? Please, we really couldn't resist. These scream Summer Sizzling Fun!


Another Michael Miller designer fabric, on the right, Giraffe motif, the use of pattern and colour is splendid


White fresh cotton capris with a bit of stretch and of course lace on the back.


My bambina in a button dress, for which she asks, "pretty dress on please" so you know when your child likes to wear it, your doing something right. A compliment to us that makes me smile.

New Spring Dresses

We are currently working on a few new dresses for Spring 2011, they are our signature button dress style that function as a dress for one season and later on as a shirt that can be paired paired with leggings. Truly a piece that will have longevity, and yes, thats possible with a child's clothing item!

Here is a sneak peak of the amazing fabrics that we will be using.
Micheal Miller Fabrics Inc.
This brand of fabrics is by far our favourite to work with. We use the 100% cotton fabrics and they have washed up well and have passed the toddler test of wear and tear. Their use of pattern, colour and whimsy are perfect for anything child.
