I love vintage dresses for little girls and am amassing quite a collection so it’s a good thing the weather has finally warmed up and I can start laying them out for Shine to wear.
Here’s a few of my favourites.
LOVE the seersucker. More seersucker needed in girl’s clothing today I say.
I can not go past a scalloped edge. This was £1.50 in my local charity shop and looked like it had never been worn. I had to rescue it so it could have its day on my girl. I adore the little embroidered details.
This one I know more of it’s history as it was mine when I was a little girl. My grandma made it for me. The cotton is so fine that I wince when Shine runs in it in case she slips and falls onto it as it will surely rip. It would be a shame to wrap it in tissue paper for the future when there’s a little girl who can dance and skip in it today.
Do you have a thing for vintage kid’s clothes? Tell me your secret stores so I can continue to build Shine’s collection.

Linking up to Magpie Monday this week over at Me and my shadow. Go check out other people’s finds.
They are lovely. You are very visual – love the combination of the clothes against the blue sky. So that is ‘seersucker’? I learn something every day. I picked up a wonderful sweater for my little horror when she was little in a charity shop – Little Boo Peep on one side and all the sheep on the other, she loved it.
That sweater sounds adorable 🙂
adorable!
So gorgeous, I love them all! x
Wish they would grow with her as I’ll be so sad when they don’t fit any longer. Must get more prettiness in larger sizes!
Seersucker! Now that takes me back! I wonder why you don’t see it any more – I used to rather like it ..
I don’t know! Maybe because you need to iron it to keep it looking good? Who knows! I love it though.
They are gorgeous, I never find anything like that when I raid the charity shops! The first one is my fave
I never used to find them when I live in London but there seems to be more vintage rejected here in the country, which is great for me 🙂
They are lovely. We get some in the charity shop I work in but they never sell. Ebay is your best bet. I’ve made a few little girl dresses from vintage fabrics too.
Such a shame they don’t sell, often vintage clothes last so much longer than modern clothes for kids, and washes better. I dare not go on eBay these days lest I buy up every gorgeous thing I see!
Gorgeous! I’m partial to a bit of vintage sweetness myself! My 4yr old has a couple of sweet little dresses..v similar xxx
I’m going to keep dressing her in them while I have a say in what she wears!
They are beautiful – came over from Magpie Monday
Love them! I too have a thing for vintage dresses and seersucker and scallops. I’m a little annoyed that my daughter has her own taste in clothing now. 😉 That will happen before you know it so pile on the vintage sweetness while you can!
I plan on avoiding letting her choose her clothes as long as possible. She already has a strong view on what to wear of her clothes but lucky she has no say in what’s in her wardrobe yet 🙂
