Designer Duds For Your Baby And Toddler
Many designers and high-end clothiers make adorable clothing for babies and toddlers. Just as with clothing adults the rule is generally the same; you get what you pay for. Designer baby clothes tend to be made better and last a lot longer than their cheaper counterparts. Designers tend to use better fabric and more skilled seamstresses to sew their garments. This means that the item will not stain as easily and will hold up to a lot of wear and tear.
Neiman Marcus, in my opinion, carries one of the best selections of designer and high-end baby attire. They sell items by the following designers: 7 For All Mankind, Antik Denim, Burberry, Chip & Pepper, D&G Dolce & Gabbana, Diesel, Juicy Couture, Kissy Kissy, Lacoste, Lily Pulitzer, Lipstik, Ralph Lauren, Replay, Rock and Republic, True Religion, and Trunk. Their prices run anywhere from about twenty dollars for a simple item up to hundreds of dollars for an elaborate dress or suit. Nieman Marcus has a nice selection of their baby garments for sale on their website and their customer service is first rate.
Saks Fifth Avenue carries a lot of designer baby clothes in their stores. While their online selection is limited to Bella Bliss, MN Bird & Co., and Walt Disney Signature, their in-store selection is out of this world. Baby items at Saks tend to run from about sixty dollars for a simple item to hundreds or thousands of dollars for fancier items.
Macy’s is another store, available in many more locations than Neiman Marcus and Sax, where you can buy adorable designer duds for your baby. The prices at Macy’s tend to be a bit lower than the previous two, and they have some great sales as well. Macy’s carries clothes for your baby by the following fashion houses: Apple Bottoms, Baby Phat, Ecko & Ecko Red, First Impressions, Guess?, Gund, Ralph Lauren, Sean John, and Tommy Hilfiger. Macy’s has a large selection of items for baby on their website and in their many stores around the U.S.
If you are looking online for designer baby clothing look no farther than www.bestdressedkids.com or www.oneofakindkid.com. Both carry a large selection of American and European baby clothing. Each of these websites has a large selection of many designers to choose from.
Another great place to find designer baby clothing is at garage or tag sales. Since babies and toddlers out-grow their clothing so fast, it is possible to find new items, sometimes with the original tags still attached, for a fraction of the cost of buying at a boutique or major retailer.
Whether or not you choose to dress your baby in designer clothing or not, it is important to buy well-made and safe items for babies. Always check things like buttons to make sure they are very secure and will not come off when your baby pulls at them. Also, if you stick to natural fibers such as cotton the clothes will stain less and hold up better.
