    Default Dear Layetteians, need help find a birthday dress for Leela.

    We have just 2 more months to go and I have not found THE dress.
    I am looking for something traditional, in the sense, i want something with little puffed sleeves, a full-ish skirt and a waist that ties at the back. She is in the 6-9mons sizes. I have been looking and looking but not found anything PERFECT yet. I do like smocking on the dresses and some bright colours.. but i am being too vague no?
    As an idea.. something like this but with fuller sleeves and maybe brighter colours? Not sure what colour looks best on her olive skin.

    Please help!! I looked at Naartjie but their website is so frickin hard to navigate!!
    I don't like embellishments and don't want anything whimsical (no animals, not even pigs).. i am being so difficult. Something that i can see being worn 20 years from now for my grandbaby... haha!

    It is so hard to find the perfect outfit! Let's start narrowing this down :)

    Are you looking for sleeveless, short sleeves, or long sleeves? Two months will put us into October...will you be someplace warm, cool, or cold?

    Preferably short sleeves.. second choice being long sleeves (so she can wear it thru the winter months).
    We live in the DC area.. it gets pretty cold here in the winter but it will not be cold on the 17th of October.. in fact, i am predicting a beautiful sunny day with clear blue skies! :)

    ETA: I am hoping that she can wear the dress with matching leggings if it gets too cold too!

    Oooh.. very cute! I wonder if the waist has a tie-back belt (is that what they are called?). I find since Leela is on the skinny side that if i can tighten the waist the overall dress looks more defined (and not like a sack! haha)... i also love the look of a well tied bow at the back!
    Also, it HAS to be 100% cotton!!
    Eeks.. i was checking JnJ LAYETTE instead of GIRLS all this time!! Thanks Mary!

    It's hard to tell from the description if you can tighten the waist.

    I might go to our store this week; if I do I'll take a closer look.

    Maybe something like this but with a plain round neckline (the collars always seem to get turned up and annoy Leela) and in more earthy colours (reds, burnt oranges)??

    Rashmi-

    I have to live vicariously through you since I have a boy! I think Leela would look beautiful in anything, but especially bright and bold colors. How about one of these Baby Lulu dresses? There are booties/shoes and hairbow/bands to match.
