Infant Easter Dresses:
The Best Boutiques of 2009

Don't go digging in storage for this year's infant Easter dresses! Herald the beginning of spring by choosing a fresh, stain-free garment this year.

I'm not sure about you, but for me, it's been a rough winter. 80 inches of snow has pushed the last "fun" out of the season. I'm ready, no, dying for spring.

In fact, I find that it is almost theraputic for me to shop for infant Easter dresses. Why shop online?

Because going out in the cold rather ruins the "therapy". Besides, I'm tired of the same-ole same-ole dresses. I'm looking to celebrate! Give me originals that the girls can wear for the (hopefully) warmer months to come.

I've identified several of the top online boutiques this year for high-value Easter clothing.

This Season's Stylish Baby Easter Dresses

This season's Easter style for babies has quite a few re-designs of old favorites. The empire waist, bonnet, pouffy skirt...all are traditional favorites that have been given new up-to-date twists.

Reflecting larger fashion trends, we're also seeing an increase in newer-styled designs like using polka dots instead of flowers, muting brighter pastels, and emphasising brown as an accent color.

To help organize wide-breadth of styles in baby Easter dresses, I've divided them into three main categories:

Infant Easter Dresses: Fancy-Pants Fantastic
Infant Easter Dresses: Egg-Hunting with Style
Oh-So-Sweet Hair Accessories and Hats

Infant Easter Dresses: Fancy-Pants Fantastic

These dresses are show-stopping and camera-popping. Definitely "special occasion," these dresses are a cut above all the others in design, detail and fabrics.

Rather than list a few of the amazing infant Easter Dresses available this year, I've chosen to list the boutiques that I feel have the best quality and most unique dresses. These are not your garden-variety Target dresses! They are unique creations made by individual designers.

Does that mean they're overpriced? Not necessarily. Some of these stores will be a little higher-end, but not all of them. You'll need to shop around to see which store and which dress fits your budget.

However, I will say that I allow myself one clothing splurge each year - and it's always on the Easter dresses!

Rosey Bear Boutique


Dusty Rose Organza Dress	Light Blue Embroidered Tulle Dress

When it comes to truly incredible infant Easter dresses, Rosey Bear Boutique is top of the list. Their formal dresses are simply outstanding. Below is a sample of the dresses they have rolled out for Easter this year.

Keep in mind, that since these are formal dresses, you will need to break out the measuring tape to get a good fit. Don't worry, though. You can find the "how to's" specifically listed under each item's description. If you're still stumped, a quick call can clear it up.

I know it seems like a pain, but if you're going to spend money on such an adorable dress, don't you want to make sure it fits?

Each photo below is hyperlinked to the dress, so click on the picture to view the details.

Bunny Creek Discount

Peach Satin Overlay Dress

If you are strapped for cash this Easter, Bunny Creek Discount has some very attractive formal baby Easter Dresses that are worth peeking at. For example, the satin dress pictured here is under $10.

PLUS, they will ship your entire order for only $6.95. Not bad for a discount store!

Dimples and Dandelions

Dimples and Dandelions doesn't carry standard infant Easter dresses. They carry tutus and petticoat-style dresses. Once your baby outgrows them, they can be used as ordinary tutus for dress-up. They aren't cheap, but they are unique. Since they are custom-made, it may take a few weeks to be delivered, so order early.

They even have tutus for newborn baby girls! You can click on the photo to see the details for that specific dress. Click here to view their entire tutu-dress collection.

Oh-So-Sweet Hair Accessories and Hats

Another way moms try to stretch a dime is to purchase an inexpensive baby dress for Easter, and then "kick it up a notch" (thank you, Emeril) with an adorable hair bow or hat.

In fact, during tough times, I've been known to dig up one of Lauren's old dresses, and purchase a new hat to make it "special" for Elena. Here are the cutest accessories online for your perusing pleasure.
