The Fleur + Dot SS13 collection is absolutely adorable. No one will be able to think about clothing for toddlers in quite the same way again. Inspired by vintage fashion, the line for girls is rife with floral prints, full skirts and headbands that will bring to mind the fun and flirtiness of the fifties, of course in a much more age appropriate way.
Made for modern tykes in the age range of 18 months to eight years old, the Fleur + Dot SS13 collection also incorporates timeless elements like Peter Pan collars, puff sleeves and oversize bows. According to Lil Sugar, "Portland-based designer Brianne Wallace wants each of her pieces to be heirloom quality and passed from mother to daughter or between sisters, so each piece is lovingly and carefully made."
