My daughter is such a girly-girl. No matter the day, or the weather – she can always be found in a dress. And the fancier the better. So, when I came across PerryWinkles Kids – it seemed like a match made in heaven. The dresses found here are simply divine, and made in a very special way…

Started by a Canadian Mother and daughter team, PerryWinkles Kids features elegant smocked dresses. What’s smocked? It’s a decorative feature that is made by sewing fine pleats. The result is very stunning, and very feminine. This company is unique in that their items are hand smocked and hand embroidered, using pima cotton in Peru. This cotton material is a very soft and luxurious cotton, it has a subtle sheen to it. Yet, is perfect for kids’ clothes because it can be easily machine or hand washed (depending on the item).

Isabelle received the Marian Sundress, a light blue dress which falls below the knees.
The beautiful dress is something that when taken out of the gift box, we both were speechless. Isabelle let out one big , “Wow” and hugged it tightly. (Yep, loves her dresses) I am most impressed that the entire dress is lined on the inside. She has had a couple of dresses in the past (with smocking detail) and they all itched so bad she never wore them. The inside lining makes it both comfortable and gives it some extra ‘poof’ and shape. The hand embroidery on the bodice is gorgeous, white rosebuds amongst the blue makes for a nice design. I have inspected this dress before and after washing and I must say, the stitching is superb. It is both a light dress to wear on a summer day, and exquisite enough for a special occasion. (or to the city market, as my daughter insisted) I can tell that it was made with much care and attention, I can see this being passed down for many to wear and love.

Every Little Girl Needs A Pretty Dress!

With Boug being the tomboy that she is, I can only get away with so much when it comes to dresses. She’s quite particular about which skirts she’ll wear and she’d much rather wear jeans and skorts most days… But there are those days, those days that she feels particularly girly, those are the days that I loveeee reaching into her closet and pulling out a fabulous dress for her.

We received the most absolutely adorable dress from PerryWinkles Kids and Boug fell in love with it. She went into an overprotective mode with it… “I can’t wear it Mom!! What if I spill something!?!?! I love it so much I want to keep it beautiful forever!!” was what I wound up hearing from her. I had to assure her, over and over, that her dress would be fine and dont you know, sure enough, it was fine after 2 wears and 3 washes!!

PerryWinkles Kids has quality, stylish, girly collections of smocked dresses and cardigans, as well as baptism and christening gowns, and more. The mother-daughter team of Graciela and Maria have one of the cutest collections around! Using awesome quality, 100% pima cotton and being machine washable at the same time is just the BEST!!
