We’ve got birthdays on the brain this week (don’t miss our First Birthday Contest), which has us thinking about how we’re going to dress up our own little doll for her special day. Thankfully we’ve sampled some of the freshest Canadian designs for our own one-of-a-kind creation.
The reversible Binksy and Bobo tie dress ($45) provides double duty dressing. Wide arm holes and adjustable tie straps take them through more than one birthday.
Handmade in small batches, Patouche’s boxpleat dress (US $36) grows with your child. As her legs shoot up, the frock transforms into a cool tunic to wear over jeans or leggings.
With its beautiful details and quiet femininity, SewnNatural’s Retro Rockabilly dress (US $65) was the dress of choice for SweetMama Editor Nadine Silverthorne’s rough-and-tumble daughter on her second birthday.
If only dressing ourselves was still this much fun…
