Sisters Wearing Smocked Outfits
MODELED BY LITTLE GIRLS
Vive La Fete for RagsLand
The baby girl is wearing a smocked bubble from the Vive La Fete for RagsLand in the size 12 months. This is a precious bubble for the hot days of summer. It is a red and white check seersucker bubble with criss cross straps in back. The smocking design is of ocean life and seahorses on the front.
Her sister is wearing a red and white gingham seersucker shorts set tha has straps that criss- cross in the back. Just like her sisters, there are seahorses and ocean life smocked on the pleated insert.
I love the accessories Big Sister is wearing: polka dot sandels, red fingernail polish!, and a big red bow. It's so much fun being a girl!
Both of these smocked outfits are at auction today. Check through the Vive La Fete listings to see if they are still available. If not, Vive La Fete has many other precious smocked clothing to choose from.

Smocked Pigs Dress
Pigs might not be the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about smocked clothing for children, but you have to admit, these smocked pigs are adorable. This smocked jumper from the Vive La Fete Collection is made of easy-to-care-for polyester/cotton fabric. It is so easy to put on and take off since it buttons at the shoulders. It has a 3 inch hem which can be let out as your child grows. It comes with a white short sleeve blouse with a peter pan collar trimmed with dainty pink ric rac. It has button closures in the back. The jumper can be worn with the white blouse or without. The smocking design on the jumper includes the cutest pink pigs that you can’t help but love!
At the time of this post, this little Vive La Fete jumper is available in several sizes at the Snowbunny Boutique. (See remarks regarding this Children’s Boutique in my recent post featuring a smocked sandcastle bishop dress by Be Mine) Many designs such as this one may be limited, so when they sell, there may not be any more listed for sale.
I am partial to this outfit because I decorated my first child’s nursery with a barnyard theme and pigs were a big part of that. I painted pigs and cows and horses on the baby’s crib and stitched an appliqué pig wall hanging to match the cow, chicken, and lamb wall hangings. We also had also had a wind up plush pig that played music. This little outfit reminds me of those days.
Thanks to Joan at the Snowbunny Boutique for providing her images for this post.
