Choosing a Child’s Outfit for Portraits and Special Occasions

April 24, 2014 by Anne Marie Leave a Comment

Spread it around!

I love candid photos and pictures of my children in their brightly colored play clothes enjoying the great outdoors. But some very special occasions call for an equally special outfit. Some examples:

  • Weddings
  • Baptism, Christening, Confirmation and other spiritual milestones
  • Formal portraits
  • Easter and Christmas

Thanks to Feltman Brothers and their vintage-style clothes for infants and toddlers, Susanna and Erik were not only outfitted for Easter but have some beautiful outfits to wear this spring and summer for special occasions.

We were given a classic white boys Cardigan with Pockets and Pintucks in white (retail $38.99) and the Rose Bouquet Bishop-Style white dress (retail $71.99) to review:

Quality: The details on both pieces are very fine and of excellent quality. Erik’s sweater features neat little pintucks and tiny front pockets with coordinating buttons. French lace trims the delicately puffed sleeves of the Bishop-Style dress, and hand sewn diamond smocking with pale pink rosebuds decorates the yoke. Even the hem is beautifully accented with horizontal tucks and more fine white lace. It’s such a sweet and pretty dress! 

Sizing: The one-piece outfits I ordered last time around seemed to run a tad small, but the cardigan and dress both seem to be right on target. Erik is 15 months old and is wearing the 2T sweater; I wanted it to last him a long time and with the sleeve cuffs rolled up once it fits perfectly. This fall, when he’s older and bigger, he’ll still be able to wear it. Susanna is 2 years old and the length and overall size of the 2T dress is just right.

When our newborn arrives in July/August, I’ll dress Susanna and Erik up again in their Feltman Brothers finery for the baptism!

It’s easy to shop with Feltman Brothers at any time online, and you’ll always receive free shipping on orders over $95. You can search by gender, by size and by occasion. There’s even a special section just for “Teenie Weenie Newborns,” if you’re looking for an unforgettable coming home or portrait outfit.

 

Is there an important family occasion or milestone on your calendar this year? After our experience with Feltman Brothers, I’m really confident that you’ll be able to find the perfect outfit for your baby or toddler to wear from their online shop!
