What a Cutie!

I love this  brown smocked Castles and Crowns dress (size 24months).   The dress  has bright yellow giraffes smocked around the neck. I great dress for  fall. This dress was up for auction on eBay the week of August 11. It may be sold by now, but take a look at your child's size in the sidebar and you are bound to find many lovely dresses for sale today. The seller's  little girl wore brown bows and gold shoes which turned out to be  so cute. Yellow bows would look great, too,  because they would pick up the color  of the bright yellow giraffes.

The Believe Line from Castles and Crowns is a perfect match for Easter Sunday wear. The delicate smocked design portrays three empty crosses symbolizing the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the true meaning of Easter and the new Easter dress  symbolizes the new life in Christ.

Smocked Easter Shortalls

The three crosses have pale yellow details inside of them and there is a vine connecting the crosses. Delicate White piping frames the smocking insert. Shortall buttons with two small clear buttons at each shoulder. The shortall snaps at crotch and down legs for easy diaper change.

There are some smocked clothes of this design available on our eBay auctions today(click first link above) when I checked or  you can check here at Castles and Crowns.  Also, there is a link at the bottom of this post to the Castles and Crowns website if you prefer to buy retail.
