Prince Bel 1940's HIstorical outfit

This outfit is a genuine reproduction of an outfit that would have been worn by a little boy in the 1920-1930 time period. THe details of this outfit are amazing! INstead of elastic, the shorts are drawstring. The shirt buttons on the back fasten with a loop of ribbon
THe collar is really wide and the collar, sleeve and the legs of the shorts are alll trimed with white rickrack, and the fabric is adorablenavy and white gingham that is puckered for texture. I love this outfit so much I bought one for next year in baby blue and white! Maybe I will put his name on it!
Prince Bel historic outfit- $14.99 ( reg $32)

Castles and Crowns Too Tall outfits

These two outfits are from the same line, TOo Tall, by castles and crowns. This is a one peice romper style one, short, with the peterpan collar piped in brown gingham.
shoes by stride rite
Here is the jon jon of the outfit, with clearer view of the adorable smocking. I put and Imp peter pan dress shirt underneath, but it could be without.
I love these outfits, because while they are very smocked and everything, they are made of sturdy, dark corduroy.

Both of theseoutfits were had off Ebay. The shortall was only $12! ( I already had the white shirt) and the romper was $30, but it was NWT

Petit Ami Panda outfit

Super cute outfit from Petit Ami. Has a vaguely swedish or German feel to it, with how the overalls have the cross strap in the front. Very beautiful.
The detail of the outfit is incredible. The whole thing is piped in either red, or the houndstooth fabric. There are cute red buttons on the straps, but they don't unbutton.
Here is the view of the applique. It is a panda with three balls in the air. Very, very cute and kind of old fashioned.

Petit Ami outfit ( Ebay) $15.00 (Retail $65)

Good Lad Overalls

Cute set by Good Lad (Macy's) Has awesome little applique of a teddy bear driving a truck full of toys.
THe plaid shirt ( which is a nice plaid, not a loud plaid) is echoed on the cuffs of the pants.
The overalls have cute quilting on the pockets. You can kind of see it here, under his arm, and on the outside pantleg. It's blue stiching on the tan fabric, which is actually a very soft, almost shiny polished cotton. This outfit is cute for trips to the farm or petting zoo or just play wear.

Overalls with plaid shirt : Macy's clearnace rack, $15
