Kids Posh Togs

This fine baby girl outfit made from fine pima cotton makes everyday-wear special.  The exquisite set comprises of 3 pieces including the dress and panties which make an item in themselves, but one chilly days you can add the cardigan too.  All 3 items are made from the same yarn and the dress and cardigan share the same intricate stitching and beautiful crochet finishing that makes this a really lovely outfit.

Available in 1 size only to fit 0-3 months, this is an outfit that looks just like the cute handknit sets worn in previous generations and looks great with a pair of knitted or crocheted booties to keep those little toes warm.

This luxury silk sailor-style christening gown looks beautiful on its own, but would also look good alongside the sailor romper suit we featured yesterday if you have a boy and girl to be baptised.

I’ve never actually seen this kind of gown before – usually it is either a long full gown or a sailor suit, but here you get a combination of the two in one outfit.

As well as the traditional style sailor collar with navy piping, there is also a large floppy bow on the bodice.   A matching bonnet is also supplied with this gown.

All the girls love a sailor!  And who could resist your little boy in this adorable 100% silk sailor suit and matching hat set?  The sailor suit is a quintessentially English outfit that is as popular today as it ever was, and makes a stunning choice for Christenings, Naming Ceremonies, Weddings, or any other formal event.

The outfit is available in 7 sizes, ranging from 3 months to 3 years, and consists of a shirt and separate dungarees, with matching hat; all with navy blue trimmings.  Versatility is built into the design as the shirt can be worn outside the dungarees (as shown) or inside, to make a very different look!  Simply gorgeous.

We’ve had some smashing sunny weather lately which has been more like Summer than the kind of weather we’d normally expect for April!  After the long dreary Winter though, it is much appreciated and so too is the ability to wear pretty summery clothing.  Part of that bright cheery wardrobe of course is footwear, and here is a small range of fun Summer Sandals and pumps from Moschino that will work well with your daughter’s Summer clothing.

If you’re looking for the wow factor, then you’ve got it in this spectacular gown.  The inspiration behind this individually handcrafted gown is St Hugh, the man responsible for the rebuilding of Lincoln Cathedral after it was ruined by an earthquake.  The panels of hand embroidery and beadwork on the bodice front and the large rose on the centre skirt panel replicate some of the cathedral’s marvellous stonework.  All exposed edges have been sealed with tiny french seams.  Due to the length of time it takes to create these gowns, 28 days notice is required on this order.

A contemporary girls christening gown made from highest quality silk dupion. The simple design of this skirt is complemented by the pin-tucking and button detail of the bodice.  The gown has short sleeves and a neat collar.

At first sight this Christening gown looks exactly the same as the one above – the same collar, pintucking and button panel, but look closer and you will notice a subtle difference. 

This is the boy’s version, and whilst it looks the same, it has been designed for those who wish to have their child baptised in a traditional gown but want him to wear a boyish romper at the post ceremony reception without having to change clothes entirely. 

A mock flap is hidden by the waistband, which cleverly attaches the skirt to the outfit.

This Victorian inspired Christening gown is made from pure silk dupion and hand-stitched lace.  The long skirt has two end sections joined by lace and the entire gown is edged in scalloped lace, creating a stunning skirt.  Simple short sleeves edged in fine lace complete the look. 

All seams are french seamed to prevent fraying.

Not so many people hand-knit for their babies anymore, but for those of you who still love to see little ones in such items but don’t have the time or inclination to knit them yourself, look no further than to Nyoki for this lovely blue sandstorm jacket for baby boys.  Made from a mix of merino wool and kid mohair, this jacket is soft and warm and ideal for popping over babies clothing on a breezy day.  Matching hats are also available.

This white short veil for girls is ideal for First Holy Communions.  It is edged in a white satin binding and is attached to a pretty diamante topped comb slide that sits nicely on the top of the head.  As the veil is quite short it won’t be too long for girls taking their first communions.

The veil is made from 100% polyester and requires wipe cleaning when necessary.

Other items from Debenhams are available to make your little girl’s special day go off beautifully from the perfect dress, cardigans and shrugs, gloves, tights and socks, and bows and ribbons for her hair.

Hatley have some wonderful designs on their raincoats at the moment.  Just one of them is the Farmer Jack raincoat as shown here, which features lovely big shiny red tractors on a blue background and a red terry lining to the coat.

The raincoat has 2 large pockets on the front, popper fastenings and a hood for helping to keep your son’s head dry.

Other designs your son can choose from include:  creepy bugs. Labradors, sailing dogs, stars, and a camping theme, all of which share the same style coat.

Tunic tops are bang on trend at the moment and set to continue.  Loose and flattering they look great with jeans or leggings and can really dress up an outfit whilst retaining the comfort of easy-to-wear casual clothing.

This tunic from Catimini is made from a white textured fabric that has been enhanced further with the lovely brightly coloured embroidery down one side and also around the neck edge and sleeve cuffs.

Perfect for christenings, communions, weddings and other formal occasions, this luxury white suit for boys from Hugo Boss is incredibly smart.  Very popular for weddings abroad, the suit looks good worn together but this versatile suit can also be worn separately.

The trousers have an adjustable waist for a better fit, and has belt tabs and 2 back pockets.  The single-breasted jacket has a lapel collar, 2 deep pockets in addition to the smaller breast pocket.

Available in sizes from 4 to 16 years.

Whilst we are currently basking in some glorious sunny weather, it is wise to stock up on those Summer outfits and essential clothing for the family.  We are getting plenty of requests for cool cotton nighties and short pyjamas at the moment, and these pretty floral print shorties from Rachel Riley look gorgeous.

Made from 100% cotton, the pyjama top has pin-tucked pleats down either side of the lace-edged button panel down the centre, that matches the lace-edged elasticated waist shorts.

Sizes range from 3 to 12 years.
