Buyers loved this dress
from Mim-Pi's
spring-summer 2014 collection for good reason. The
pattern is timely, pleats falling from the dropped-waist
soften the modern shape, the sleeve details are
reminiscent of Indian headdresses, and the color! It's a
winner for color alone. (Fits 6 months to 10 years.
Contact manufacturer for pricing.) For more information,
call 407-492-8361, or visit mim-pi.com.

Dresses with real presence
were spring-summer 2014 best sellers for Lorraine Kitsos
at Redfish
Kids. Here, the bright
Lucky Dress with the obi was a favorite, and for good
reason: every detail - from the lush, dramatic floral
pattern to the way the black trim creates an electric
outline around the shape, and how well the small-print
sash defines the waist and enhances the larger print - is
just a lesson in great design. (Fits 1-10, $35
wholesale.) For more information, call 800-862-2608, or

right-for-the-beach shape. (Fits NB to 8 years.) For more
