I thought I'd share pics of my other daughter in her new clothes for the moms on the board that have older daughters.
The violet playdress (she previously had the pink polka dot one):
The Flower Box Dress-- I'm having the same dilemma as Denise regarding what color tights to go with. Which do you think goes better with her pink Elefantens?
The Talbot's jumper I posted the other day, but now with a white collared blouse and matching tights.
Opinions?
Marie
BTW-- I've finally reached 1000 posts!!

Marie, I bought the violet and navy playdress for my older DD, too. She loves it! I also bought the Flower Box dress for my youngest. I bought the red tights to go with it (I posted pics the other day in Denise's post of the dress and tights, the girls haven't been willing to model for me!). I think I like the pink tights on your daughter, though. I think they go better with the pink shoes. The Talbot's jumper looks great on her, too.
I love the Hello Kitty, too!

I bought the violet playdress for M and love it! I'm requesting that you hold on to these HA clothes for when my DD is bigger and I can buy them from you :) I personally like the red tights better as there is more contrast in colors. Love the Talbots jumper, too. Congrats on #1000- I meant to mention it in a previous post!

She looks really nice in all of those! My favorite is the jumper and white shirt--it's just so crisp and cute. I think the Hanna dresses are adorable too. On the flower bright dress, I think I like the red tights with the pink shoes, but I am not sure. Those pink shoes are impressively well matched to the pink in that dress! I bought the dress and red tights for Amelia, hoping to get by with brown shoes. We also have some black patent. Looking at it in person, do you think either of those will work? If not, I'm still not sure what color to even look for!

Adorable!
I think I like the red tights better than the pink tights, but they do both look good with the pink shoes. And I love that Talbot's jumper--the color is TDF!

Your DD looks just darling in all these combinations, but I think I really prefer the red tights with the flowerbox dress. It just breaks up the pink. While I think the pink looks ok, it's almost too much pink for me. I love this dress though! So much so that I am probably going to have to order it for my older DD! I am also really drawn to the blue/violet playdress combo. The more photos of precious little girls wearing it, the more I want to buy it!

Heidi,
Thanks! Can't wait to see pics of your girls in their new Hanna's once they are willing to pose!
LOL about the Hello Kitty. DD insisted that I take a picture of her too.

Katie,
LOL about saving the Hannas for you!! You know I have so many pieces of clothing (Gymboree, Gap, Talbots, etc.) in excellent condition and I haven't gotten around to listing them on the swap. I need to get my act together!!
Thanks for the congrats on #1000!!

I'm torn about the tights too. I think I might prefer the red, but the pink match the shoes pretty well and usually I try to match the shoes to the tights for a more "uniform" look, KWIM?
Hmmm... if I didn't have these pink shoes, I think I'd probably get red tights and have her wear navy shoes. So, out of your choices, I think I'd probably go with the black patent. I'm just not sure if I'd like brown with it.

Thanks, Jen! And sorry that you missed my last batch of pictures. It was sweet of you to comment though!

Thanks for the advice and compliments!
It's amazing how you can live without these things when you see them in the catalog, but decide you HAVE to have them when you see them on the adorable kids on this board, isn't it?
So, go place your order already! LOL!

She is just so cute and so good at posing for you. I prefer the red tights with the dress & pink shoes. Perfect outfit.
Do you love the flower box as much as in the catalog? I'm debating between that one and the Sunlit Hours dress. The Flower Box one looks darling on your daughter and Maureen's - the only ones I've seen, I think. I'm just hoping it won't be too big on my dd. What size did you get?

I'm loving those Talbots jumpers, Marie. I really like the new playdress on your DD too, better than the dots one (although I liked the dots one too). Oh, and I vote for the red tights.

Phoebe, I also ordered the Flower Box dress and I love it. It is even more beautiful than in the catalog. The colors are so striking and vibrant and the print is adorable. I bought the India Red tights and she'll be wearing it with black MJ's. I haven't had much luck getting my girls to model the dresses (I think it's because of the tights!), but I'll try again and hopefully post pics soon.
BTW, my DD just turned 3 and I got her the 100. I like to have things a little roomy and also wanted it to last longer. She hasn't tried it on yet, but the playdress in 100 fit well, just a bit roomy, so I'm assuming this will as well.
HTH! BTW, I love the name Phoebe!

I love the navy playdress. Are you happier with the buttons than you were with the dotted dress?
The flower box dress is just gorgeous on all these girls. It might be my favorite on your dd. But I love the jumper and blouse too - so classic!
Best,
Mary

Marie,
The violet color looks great on her. The more I see this color, the more I like it.
That Flower Box dress is really cute. I like both the pink and the red tights with the dress. I guess I'd keep which ever pair I could use with another outfit - if you have something else that would match with it. Looking at the pics again, the shoes show up more with the red tights. Those shoes are too cute to hide, so I'd go with the red.
Now you've convinced me to go to Talbots. I love the jumpers you bought the girls, and I was trying soooo hard to not buy anything this week.

I love the Hanna playdress + the Talbots outfit. She looks great in all of those blues and pruprles. I think I like the red tights better with the shoes. Your daughter is a terrific model. I can tell she is full of personality!

Wow it all looks great! What a beauty! I love the Hanna playdress combo the coor is great on her. Love the flower box dress too! I prefer the red tights with the dress, but if you are going with pink shoes then I think you need to use the pink tights-something I have about matching shoes to tights! Do you have red shoes?
The talbot jumper is adorable with the blouse and matching tights! Good choices.

Oh, thanks, that's sweet. :) Thanks for the input on the dress. I will probably get the flower box with the red tights too. I'll either buy pink or black shoes. Dd has darling red leather t-straps from the gap last year, but they're on the small side. Plus that will probably be too much red. I want to get a pair of classic shoes that Maureen mentioned, but I'm blanking on the name. They're English I think.
If anyone gets the sunlit hours dress, I hope they post. I bet it's really cute too.

I just love the flower box dress. Seeing all of these pics of it is making me want it! I like the red tights with the pink shoes. The pink definitely works too, but it just breaks things up a bit.

Thanks, Phoebe!
I do like the Flower Box dress a lot. It is very colorful!
I got a 110 for my daughter. She actually is at the top end of the chart for 100s, but I wanted it to last longer and I hate when dresses are too short.
She turned 4 in July and is 41" and 35 lbs.
HTH!

Hey Phoebe! I have been offline all weekend (ILs in town), but wanted to say that the shoes I usually get are called Footmates, if those are the ones you are thinking of. I got Kathleen a white pair every summer, and this fall I got her a navy pair. I figure with all the SFF stuff I got at Gymbo that she would really get her use out of them!
I also bought the sunlit hours dress and will post pics when I get it--should be this week!
And Marie, your DD is gorgeous--what a little sweetie! She looks like she has so much fun posing! :) I love the purple playdress on her, much more than the previous pink one. Great color for her!
And I love the red tights. The pink looks good, but the red seem to pop more. And the Talbot's jumper looks fabulous! She looks great in everything!!

Marie, I'm debating sending Kathleen's size 100 dress back for the 110. She is 1 inch taller than your DD, but a few pounds lighter. The 100 fits her perfectly now, I don't want it to be too small. I guess I could wash it and if it shrinks too much, exchange the size. What do you think? :) Thanks!
urbanmama
09-27-2004, 12:37 PM
Maureen,
I would definitely get the 110 instead, but I can't stand when dresses are too short.
Also, I think that DD is taller than I previously posted. It looks like she is more like 42".
HTH!

Marie,
I completly missed this post until now! I am really going blind or something!
I love the playdress on her! Much more so than the pink one. I really like the violet color- much better than it looked in the catalog.
I also really like the flower box dress. The red tights look great with it.
She looks aborable! Everything looks great on her.

She is so cute! I LOVE all these outfits on her! Looks like you're finally getting some things that work! :) Yea!
I think she looks great in the violet playdress. It's a much better color for her than the pink. I have that color on the way, too. :)
The flower box dress is TDF! She looks beautiful in it. Mine, ahem...Amy Grace's, came over the weekend and I love it so much! I think the red tights look better with the pink shoes. I'm hoping that I didn't goof by ordering the pink tights.
And the Talbot's outfit is adorable. I love the matching tights and the shirt is really cute, too.

I'm so relieved that I have finally found a couple of "winners" for my oldest daughter. Of course, they are all dresses and we really need more pants-- especially casual, comfortable things, but it's a start!
It seems like the red tights win the poll, so I'll keep those.
I like the purple playdress so much better than the pink polka dotted one! It is really cute IRL.
Denise, where are the pics of AG in it and the Flowerbox dress??

:) Well, right now, the only item I have is the Flower Box dress. I had a friend pick it up and ship it to me so I wouldn't have to wait for it since it's backordered. The tights and playdress are still in transit from Hanna and our red shoes are on indefinite hold right now. Argh...the agony! I'll post as soon as the pieces all come together!
