The Bow dress is from Gymboree and it's for Christmas pictures. The other dress is Old Navy and it will be for a Christmas concert at my Mom's church. We'll reuse the bow dress for church on Christmas Eve. Attachment Deleted

DD will probably wear this, as long as she doesn't grow too much before then! It's last year's from Next and is 12-18 mos. for all of you who don't believe their stuff runs big!!!
I usually do etsy. Last year it was red chevron with a Christmas tree applique. This year it's tan with an all over vintage santa/sled print. I tried to look up the pic on her etsy shop but it's not available ATM.
I like etsy. Affordable. Comfy fabric and SLEEVES. It's the freakin' Midwest people. In Decemeber. I need sleeves.
We're also pretty casual at family events so I prefer cute but comfy. They also look great with leggings. See Winter in Midwest.
I think I'm gonna do all all J&J hand-me-downs for the younger 2 or 3. I'll have to find something for DD1. Then I think I'll get new casual outfits or Christmas PJs since I'm saving money on dresses. Usually I buy all new matching/coordinating but I'm just not feeling it this year.

Do you have any favorite shops?
You know I don't really. I've done it 3 years now and picked a different shop each time. I just type little girl Christmas dresses, find something I like then make sure it's legit.
I'm drawn to the more pillowcase style dress so there's like 4364364 options..ha.

*butting in* I get A stuff from Sweet Caroline Crafts a lot. They are my favorite. They have a Facebook page too.
I got it on super sale at gymboree for like $17 and I love it. The dress is navy, with a black velvet bow, and the polka dots have some slightly iridescent thread in them
I bought the same dress for Audrey- I love it! Claire has a past season gymbo dress that is silver with ruffles.
Great, now I've fallen down the Christmas dress hole on the internet.
I just ordered this NWT HA dress on eBay - $24 shipped (sorry its huge)
I love this and have been thinking about getting it! I've had this picture saved forever as I try to decide which dresses to get!! SOOO many to choose from, not enough money or places to wear them all.

Oooh that picture made me love it even more! I was thinking cream tights with black mary janes.
How are the HA dresses sized? DD is in 18 months clothes now, 24 month fits but the sleeves are long.
I think they run huge. DD is 35 inches 23 pounds. In HA dresses, I just bought her an 80 and i'm going to exchange it for a 70. It just hangs on her, she is drowning in it!
We run into issues with the leggings with both kids. If I buy used and the dress and leggings have been washed and machine dried (we don't machine dry our HA stuff) then the leggings are too short, but the dresses are still ok.
Thanks! I think I'm going to get her an 80 then. DD is about 24ish pounds now maybe? and 34-355"? I think she was 33" at her 18 month check up. I dont want to get it and have it be too short.
