Custom Critter Costumes

The Wild Things Dresses are Perfect for Halloween

Etsy shop owner Kristy Hartley of Wild Things Dresses has recently been featured on the Etsy website for her adorable and colorful little girls' Halloween dresses. Hartley runs her shop out of her home in rural Lancashire England with her partner and three children -- Hartley refers to them as “little wild things.”

Each of her dresses are handmade in Hartley’s small studio, and she says she originally came up with the idea to start a shop after making clothing for her own children and having such fun with it. The dresses consist of colorful and creative patterns and often feature cute animals or summer-like patterns.

You can choose from either the orange fox, the owl, penguin, mouse or much more. Hartley says she even plans to expand into Wild Things Boys as her company grows.
