Spooky Laundry Collection

I just announced my new SPOOKY LAUNDRY collection! I'm so excited because I found the cutest Halloween Fabric EVER.  I know it may seem early for Halloween shopping, but remember I need time to make your orders and you want to receive them in plenty of time for your little cuties to wear them a bunch of times, right?  Of course! 

To kick off the new collection, I created a little giveaway over on my Facebook page to win a free dress or top for Halloween. We had a fabulous turnout and today we're excited to announce our winner! 

Woohoo!  I can't wait to get Luci's custom dress made for her little cutie! And it sounds like it will be shipped all the way to Germany for her granddaughter! I love that.  

It's too late to win an outfit from the Spooky Laundry Collection, but there is still plenty of time to pre-order!  Just look at this amazing fabric: 

How cute is that?!  I have some really fun coordinates to use like polka dots and chevrons in black/white and those bright colors. I'm having so much fun with this!  And so is my daughter: 

This Spooky Laundry Halter can come in dress length or top length (shown above) and I'd be happy to mix it up in any way you'd like to customize.  I can also make ANY of my shop styles using this fabric (it would make a really cute skirt or ruffly peasant dress)  so please email me your ideas at polkadotumbrellaboutique@hotmail.com and we'll get your order started!  I will also be making some ready-to-ship outfits in my spare time that will be available for purchase on my  Polka Dot Umbrella Facebook Page.  These outfits are way too much fun for you to pass up!  Order today before I run out of supplies! 

Jaclyn's Layered Jumper Dress

Fall is in the air!  Can you feel it? We live in a farming community (as you can probably guess from the photo above) so harvest is a big deal to us.  It also means back-to-school and more time indoors for our little ones.  We still want to dress them up cute of course, and Jaclyn's Jumper Dress is just perfect for the fall weather! 

I would love to make a jumper dress for your little girl!  It features front-snap straps in a unique design, that really cute bow pocket, inseam pockets (perfect place to put all her treasures), and a comfy fit that still lets her run and play. The white dress underneath is the layering peasant dress and it provides great coverage while also serving as a slip/petti.  My daughter wears her underdress under all of her strappy dresses because she loves it so much. 

If you would like to custom order a handmade jumper dress in any fabric that you choose, please email me at polkadotumbrellaboutique@hotmail.com and we'll get your order started!  My daughter has requested several more and I can't wait to get started on the one in owl prints.

Jeffrey's Summer Jumper

There aren't any ruffles on it, but I found a new favorite outfit to make!  Jeffrey's Summer Jumper is simply adorable, as you can see. It has a unique snap strap design and that cute all-boy pocket. I couldn't resist adding boy items to my shop.  Spread the word! These make great gifts too. 

Jeffrey's is perfect for playing around outside in the summer sun, or you can also layer a tee under it for when the weather cools off a bit. (That's not likely to happen anytime soon though!)

Jeffrey's Summer Jumper is also super cute on crawlers and babies!  I can make anywhere from newborn size all the way up to boys 8!   I would love to make a custom order for your little guy in any fabric you choose and I can help come up with really cute coordinating fabrics for the perfect outfit.  Just email me to get your order started!  polkadotumbrellaboutique@hotmail.com

Jonathan's Swim Shorts

It's Summer!  Finally! 

You know your boys are going to be spending quality time in the water this summer, whether it's at the pool or lake or even just running through the sprinklers.  Why not get them one-of-a-kind custom swim shorts that they can look totally adorable in?  My swim shorts come with elastic and a drawstring at the waist, giving a perfect fit, fun side pockets with velcro flaps if you choose, and the shorts are fully lined.  The lining I use isn't that scratchy brief-style kind that you find in store-bought suits.  Rather I use a soft mesh and I fully line the shorts, making them super soft and my boys love theirs!  Believe it or not, there is a wide variety of super fun board short fabrics to choose from so send me an email today and we'll get your order started!  Available in sizes newborn to tween 15/16!  polkadotumbrellaboutique@hotmail.com

Bowties and Hair Bows

I started selling boys' bowties in my shop awhile back and they are totally adorable on the little guys.  But my daughter figured out that the bowties also make amazing hair bows! Aren't they cute! 

So these little beauties are being added to my list of custom accessories available.  I can make them to match any of your girls' outfits!  The bows have an attached alligator clip in back for easy wear, and what we love about these as hair bows is that they are super sturdy, even after being worn all day or smashed in a backpack!  They bounce right back and you can even handwash them if necessary with no harm done.  I'm all about having our kids' clothes be adorable AND sturdy. 

To order an outfit and matching hair bows, please email polkadotumbrellaboutique and we'll get your order started!

It's Time to Think Christmas!

It's begun!  I love Christmas season and all the traditions it involves. I have been working on some ready-to-ship Christmas outfits that will be on my Facebook page this week. It will start out as Cyber Monday and I'm sure I'll be on a roll all week long, so don't forget to keep checking back on the Facebook page! As always, you can do custom orders from the albums on my website here, but keep in mind that my turnaround time is often two weeks, so if you are wanting something in time for Christmas you may need to jump on it now! 

This may be my favorite Christmas item of the year!  Trista's Pixie Hoodie, available for order until December 7. Sizes 6m to Girls 8.  $65.00.  My daughter seems to want to wear it every single day so it must be super duper comfy!  And she also loves that it's not "too Christmassy" so she'll be able to wear it long after the season has passed. The hoodie is made out of a soft, 4-way stretch knit and is machine washable. Notice the lettuce edging and details. So, so cute! 

Email me at polkadotumbrellaboutique@hotmail.com to order.
