Who's the Boss
Your little one is all girl, all the time. While you'd prefer something a bit more tailored (read: practical), she demands ruffles, lace and pink everything. How about a compromise that's pretty but tasteful?
Check out new kids' clothing line Bossy Baby for dresses that are sweet, not saccharine. Handmade dresses are made of vintage pillowcases, ribbons and trims, and one-of-a-kind pieces come in styles including short sleeves, butterfly sleeves or shoulder tie straps. A tank dress with front and back pin tucks is totally feminine, while an adorable apron dress pairs a tank with a patchwork apron made from vintage patterns. Delicate hankies from a bygone era are shown off beautifully in a wrap dress, skirt set and an irresistible little hankie purse. It's girlie, but good girlie.
Also worth a look is Bossy Baby's organic cotton knit wear. Newborn onesies, blankies and rompers come in soft stripes and solids, or with embroidered nursery rhymes; the playwear collection offers basics like hoodies, sweatsuits and tees, all in the same organic fabrics (including hemp, a durable natural fiber).
The pink princess will love wearing them, though we can't promise she'll stop slipping a tutu over rose-colored Crocs and lace tights. But you know who's really in charge.
