Not Your Mother's Baby Items!
Some parents are not comfortable dressing their babes in layers of frilly, starched sugary sweetness. I'll be honest, I love the girly-girlness of a classic baby dress as much as the next mom, but it’s easy to ruffle your way right into overdone Pepto Bismol pink
gaudiness. So if you’re looking for something different, you might want to check out the nostalgic vintage prints that have become so popular in children’s clothing.
There is nothing wrong with reliving your childhood through your little bambino if you are bedecking them in any of these cool retro prints. Vintage prints are not only extremely stylish, but designers have added a hip spin to these retro prints by experimenting with fabric, shape, texture and color.
Donna Ferguson, a work at home mom of two, started sewing outfits for her Barbie Dolls as a young girl and soon graduated to making clothing for her own children. She creates charming clothing and accessories, like this very vintage Space Patrol Print Blanket $12.50 on her website, OneLittleMonkey.com.
Donna also creates beautiful vintage print dresses for little girls, like this retro Hula Girl print dress. Your little girl will hula her heart out in this Hula Girl Dress by One Little Monkey, $42.
Who didn’t want to sport those outrageous pastry-shaped hair buns ala Princess Leia? Or hang out with a drama queen droid like C3-PO? Check out this ultra hip C3-PO onesie by nancyDENE, $21.99 at nancyDENE.com.
nancyDENE rompers are also available at The Marketplace at Lifestyle Daily.
Fun Vintage Print Bibs by Funkie Baby, $19 at Spunkyturtle.com.
