Babies and young children are a joy to behold; there’s something so universally appealing about their wonderful expressions, tiny little faces and unpredictable, comical ways. We parents especially treasure photos from childhood that capture those qualities. And nearly every family has some special dress or outfit that was perfectly suited to the occasion. Perhaps it’s something that’s even been passed down from generation to generation.
Feltman Brothers has been generating this kind of magic for quite some time – almost 100 years, in fact! At it’s founding in 1916, Americans were puttering around in the famous Model T while “Edwardian” ladies swept their hair up high and wore skirts almost to their shoes. But just like then, we still love to dress up our little ones for a special occasion, or maybe just to capture them in a keepsake photo. Fine sewing sometimes seems to be a vanishing art, so I’m really glad that companies like Feltman Brothers are still providing heirloom-quality clothing to families.
Feltman Brothers sent us two beautiful spring outfits for Erik and Susanna in exchange for an honest review: the Teddy Bear Bobby Suit in blue (retail $53.85) and the Rose Garden Smocked Bubble Suit (also in blue, retail $47.99):
It took me a really long time to choose something for my two toddlers because the selection at Feltman Brothers is extensive and everything is either breathtakingly beautiful or just plain adorable (some are both!). In the end, I thought the two pale blue spring outfits would suit them both perfectly.
They are quite a pair!
The outfits we received are meticulously crafted. Not a stitch out of place. The fine fabrics and delicate details are just what I would expect from such a trusted name. You can be sure that after Spring and Summer have come and gone, these little suits will be carefully packed away for the next Sweden baby.
The tiny pintucks and embroidery on Erik’s romper are perfect, and the button-on style is one of my absolute favorites:
Department stores and big box stores don’t sell clothing of this quality, and it often takes some looking (and driving) to find a high end boutique shop. Luckily, you can easily shop with Feltman Brothers online and receive free shipping on all orders over $95.
I do want to mention that if your baby is average or bigger, then you might go up a size when purchasing. Susanna and Erik are both small/short for their ages, and the sizes I picked corresponded exactly to their ages and the outfits “just” fit – with no room to spare.
Feltman Brothers also sells christening gowns! Baptism is a crucial, once-in-a-lifetime event, so it’s no wonder that parents have traditionally dressed their babies in the very best for the momentous day. Feltman Brothers has beautiful styles for both boys and girls, plus accessories like bibs, blankets and diaper covers.
