Carousel Smocked Christmas bishop dress
This Christmas bishop dress is smocked with Santa Claus riding in his sleigh led by Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. The deep navy blue fabric sets the scene in the dead of night. What little girl wouldn't be excited to wear this scene of Christmas dreams? The sleeves are beautifully smocked and match the dress's yolk. The back fastens with three buttons.
There is a little boys' smocked Christmas shortall that matches this dress and makes for a great brother sister outfit match.
I am partial to this design since Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was my favorite Santa Christmas song as a child. I watched the television special about Rudolph every year. Any more Rudolph fans out there?

We are fast approaching the Christmas season and now is the time to start planning for Christmas purchases. There is still plenty of time to order smocked Christmas dresses and smocked holiday outfits for your children.
Girl's Holiday Dress
This post features a smocked dress by Rare Editions in a size 5. The gorgeous smocking is accented with three wreaths and three holly bouquets. The dress is made of a black and white gingham with a silver metallic thread. Fibers are 74% polyester 23% silk and 3% metallic yarn.
The dress has a four button closure and a sash that ties in the back.
Length approx. 28 1/2"....Underarm to underarm 12 1/2"
The only downside of this dress that I know of is that it is Dry Clean Only. I always prefer machine washable for practical reasons.
The suggested retail for the dress is $90, but the starting price on eBay is $19.95. It is bound to go up some, but often you can get new smocked clothing for half of the price that they sell in the children's boutiques.
There are been several of this design available in various sizes on eBay this week. The offering vary everyday. If you browse by size, you are bound to find what you are looking for or a great substitute.

I found another great smocked boutique shoppe called The Snowbunny Boutique. This smocked bishop Christmas dress is an example of the beautiful smocked dresses that are available in many sizes. This Bow Peep dress has a round yolk with puffed sleeves and is made of bright red poly/cotton fabric, an easy to care for fabric. It is decorated with the cutest snowmen and Christmas tree embroidered on the smocking.
The Snowbunny Boutique carries dozens of dresses, many choices for Christmas right now, but I'm also seeing lovely pastel bishop dresses that make me think of Easter. After Christmas is over, we'll all be craving those pastel and Easter egg colors again.
Most of the shops that I feature on this kid's clothing site are on eBay. I hope you will consider supporting these small businesses that are selling through eBay. Most of these boutique clothing shoppes on eBay are operated by stay-at-home Mammas that need to bring in some income for their families. The Snowbunny Boutique has earned 100% positive feedback from customer service. I am happy to recommend this shop to you.

Brother/Sister Smocked Outfits
Description of the Boy's Longall:
"From Anavini, this adorable outfit was featured in Wooden Soldier catalog. Smocked mouse and candy cane in Christmas stocking motif. Green babywale corduroy longall buttons at bib and sides. Snap crotch. White cotton broadcloth shirt has green and red piped collar. Retails in Wooden Soldier for $89" but sold for $38.99 at Amazing Grace Boutique.
And one more thing...Amazing Grace Boutique carries the lovely Life of Faith 18" dolls. From what I can gather, they compare to the American Girl dolls, but they are less expensive. Not only that, but they are described as dolls with a spiritual history that are poseable and and are a wholesome, modest play doll for young girls. You can also purchase outfits for your 18 inch doll here at Amazing Grace Boutique!

I really enjoy recommending shops on eBay such as this one because they are usually small family-owned American businesses that really appreciate your patronage. They go out of their way to make their customers happy. The sellers are available to you. It is so easy to ask questions through the eBay message system (Contact Seller link). Can you do that on Amazon or other online vendors? If you are not registered on eBay, you may be missing out on some of the best buys and best service available.
