Little Adventures Costumes

Description

From personal experience, we know that favorite dress-ups are a hot commodity, worn over and over and OVER again. While we have wanted to offer reasonably priced dress-ups for awhile now, we have kept our eyes open for the most practical selection. These beautiful, durable, and modest costumes fit the bill. They are all designed by moms, constructed out of durable and comfortable fabrics, and machine-washable (but hang dry). Unlike much of what you see around the stores in October, these are made to last, and most feature a looser, stretchier fit for flexible sizing. So, if Mom's time is at a premium and those repurposed formals from the thrift store are torn and grungy, you might consider one of these as a special treat for your dress-up-loving child.

Approximate Sizes: S = 1-3 yrs, 2T; M = 3-5 yrs, size 4; L = 5-7 yrs, size 6; XL = 7-9 yrs, size 8 Please see each group for more specific size information.
