A
fairytale wedding needs a flower girl whose
dress captures the magic of the occasion. The
Ribbon Ballerina (#4201, $92.50-$96.50
wholesale) from the Malley
& Co. Couture
Collection,
is delicately colored, beautifully crafted, and
that skirt is fit for Swan Lake. As for the hand
dyed silk flowers, why opt for one when you can
have three? (Fits 12 months to 10 years) Contact
Malley Gaulding at 972 840-6433, or visit malleyandco.com.

The
designers at Little
Things Mean A
Lot understand that a Christening gown should
reflect the baby: delicate and lovely. Their
understated pieces have timeless shapes and
old-world hand and shadow embroidery. This
design (#CAC54GS, $84 wholesale), made of 100
percent cotton broadcloth, is an instant
heirloom. (Fits 3, 6 and 12 months and comes
with a padded hanger and zippered vinyl bag.)
For more information, call 800-333-6036, or
visit ltlthings.com.

The Fantaisie Rose Applique Bubble Dress ($67.50 wholesale)
proves that a flower girl frock doesn't need to
be sashed and flounced - not that there's
anything wrong with that! This modern silk
taffeta piece is slim through the bodice and
ends with a box-pleated skirt. The trendy bubble
hem is right off the runway. For that touch of
tradition, designer Anh-Chi Huynh finishes the
creation with a generous organza hand-made rose.
Charming! (Fits sizes 2T to 6X). To order, call
805 564-7838; visit Fantaisiekidswholesale.com.

A
star is born in The
Children's Boutique
Baby's 100 percent organic cotton pieces. The T-shirt
($9, wholesale) with a bold, off-center star,
and the comfy pants with repeating star motifs
($8) drive home the message. The striped hat
($6) adds more playful pattern to the mix. (Tee
and pants fit sizes NB to 24 months. Hat fits
sizes NB to 6 months). To order, call Kate Lyons
at 215-732-2661 ext. 2, or visit childrensboutiquebaby.com.

She's
not the poofy dress type? That's cool. Red
Wagon Baby has the perfect alternative. Dress the little
miss in Red Wagon Baby's Ruffle Tunic ($17,
wholesale) and tonal stripe legging ($13). The
100 percent organic cotton pieces have that cute
but not pushing it quality. (Fits 3 months to
4T) To order, call designer Afton Farley at
(310) 569-0366 or visit redwagonbaby.com.
