Review Happy Panda Baby Bigger Size Onesies, T-Shirts, and Pants for Babies

Many parents face the challenge of finding the right fit for their plus size baby. Happy Panda specializes in high quality clothing for the bigger baby, founded by Pamela Kramer and Emily Sanderson, moms who understand the need for a more "generous" size chart for bigger (cute and chunky) size babies. Their collection features their sweet signature panda in a variety of comfortable styles including lap tees, snappies, t-shirts, and pants.
The little Valentine onesie we received for review was beautifully gift wrapped, available for only a $3 additional charge. I am really impressed with the quality and attention to detail of Happy Panda. I immediately noticed the soft high quality 100% combed cotton interlock fabric. The colors are vibrant and I love that it is tagless, creating the most comfortable clothing for baby. The lap tee design enables parents to easily remove the onesie, while keeping baby happy and clean.

Features::
  • All items are tagless, printed for comfort.
  • Styles are 100% soft combed cotton baby rib or interlock fabric.
  • Designed and made in the USA, using environmentally safe fabrics and inks.
  • Size chart enables customers to find the right fit for their baby.

Penny and Maude Modern, Fun, and Colorful, Tshirts for Babies and Toddlers

Penny and Maude designs these adorable t-shirts for babies and toddlers. Jolene Garcia is a mom and the creative force behind these original designs. Each design features a fun and colorful screenprinted graphic that is as unique as your little one. In addition to her collection of tees, she also offers totes, pillows, accessories, and even tees for mom.

We received the organic jersey tee that features a mama bird and her three babies in a tree. Makenna absolutely loves it, she's big on mama and babies. I love the combination of the colors, and I am very impressed with how vibrant the colors are. It's perfect for going into fall. Makenna is three and would probably fit into a 2T, but I chose a 4T to allow room for shrinkage. It was a little big, and after it was washed in cold and dried in the dryer, it did shrink a bit, as her website states. It fits great, with a bit of room for growth.

  • Designs are available for babies in laptees size 6-24 months and toddlers size 2T and 4T.
  • Screenprinted on 100% fine ring-spun combed cotton or 100% fine ring-spun combed imported certified organic cotton. Made in the USA.
  • Machine washable.

Receive 25% off everything with code boutique from 9/24/07 to 9/30/07

Little Uni Handmade Modern and Stylish Toddler and Baby Tees and Onesies

Little Uni

Little Uni designs a sophisticated line of sweet and modern tees and onesies for babies and toddlers. Their collection is a collaboration of long time friends and extremely talented designers, Julie Crosson and Andrea Needlman.

We received a white lap tee that features a colorful and modern "hungry" hippo that is perfectly appliquéd to the front. The 100% cotton short sleeved lap tee is created from the softest cotton with a comfy stretch. I LOVE lap tees. They are so easy to get on and off. I was extremely pleased with how the tee washed. It retained it's shape and softness after washing. I tend to be a little apprehensive to appliquéd tees because occasionally they will pucker or come unraveled after the first washing. Our Little Uni tee came out as perfect as it arrived. Makenna loves her new hippo tee and calls it her "cozy hippo shirt".

Choose from their unique designs such as a scooter, birdie, car, or a milk truck. Their collection of tees includes your choice of long or short sleeved, offered in sizes 3 months to 4T. Their adorable onesie sets include a short sleeved ultra soft onesie and a coordinating adjustable knotted hat. Personalized tees are also available in your choice of style & color, size, and graphic for your tee. Little Uni designs are a great choice for a sweet and modern baby shower gift for discriminating mommies and babies.

"I wanted to create a line of beautiful children's wear distinctive for it's unique styling and original spirit."

Three or four Baby Lulu Collections are offered by seasons, Spring, Fall, and Cruise. Baby Lulu's spring 2007 collection is comprised of four individual collections, Audrey's Garden, Raspberry Mums, Princess Butterfly, and Sunflower. Each collection offers a wonderful selection of mix and match items, including accessories, to create your favorite look.

Baby Lulu sent us the Twirl Dress from the Audrey's Garden collection. A floral palette of blue, pink and green is coupled with a coordinating stripe pattern. The twirl dress features cute girly details that any little girl would love. The striped bodice features straps that are embellished with ruffled pink mesh. The kerchief twirl, layered with pink mesh, offers the ultimate twirl effect. A floppy flower embellishment at the waist finishes this fun and flirty dress that is perfect for any occasion.

Liliputians NYC
whimsical. quirky. fun. funky.


If you're like me, you search for the perfect outfit for your little one's special birthday. I love a fun and funky birthday outfit that screams "party girl". (I'm teaching her early.) Liliputians sent Makenna a Birthday Cupcakes and Dots skirt set, one of their newest creations from their birthday collection. I struggle each day to get Makenna out of her PJ's, but the second she laid her eyes on her new cupcake set, she immediately stripped off her princess jammies.

We've gotten accustomed to the high quality unique tiny fashions found at upscale boutiques. Liliputians is no exception. Their superior craftsmanship was evident from the moment I opened our package. A soft high quality knit tee features a perfectly stitched appliquéd number three, along with three coordinating delectable sprinkled cupcakes. The full ruffle style skirt is created from colorful yummy cupcake fabric and features an elastic waist that provides a comfy fit. The contrasting pink and brown polka dot fabric at the waist compliments the cupcake fabric, and is top-stitched with contrasting pink thread. Not a single stitch was out of place. Not a single loose thread found. Liliputians creations are professionally made with all the exquisite details and special touches of a handmade creation.

Heather Flottmann, the designer and owner of independent label Liliputians, has a passion for bright fun and funky, vintage, and retro prints. Lily Belle, her adorable model and daughter, is her inspiration for the fun and funky creations.

Speak Clothing - Kids and Womens American Sign Language Organic Cotton T-Shirts and Holiday Cards





Run. Laugh. Play. Breathe.
Speak Clothing was founded by Liz Murphy to inspire and motivate others to learn sign language. Her own experience of learning to communicate with her hearing-impaired son has been her inspiration to create her unique women's and children's clothing line and holiday cards. I have personally taught my youngest child some sign language when she couldn't speak yet and it was such an amazing experience to see her learn to communicate with her hands.
Upon receiving the "breathe" women's T-shirt, my children were automatically drawn to the illustrated symbol on the shirt. Each of them, including my two-year-old, trying their hand at learning the sign, no pun intended.
I wear a T-shirt every day and let me tell you, I have not worn a T-shirt this comfortable in years. The natural colored shirts are made of the softest high quality ring spun 100% organic cotton. Each shirt features an American Sign Language symbol with the English word printed below, silk-screened in rich saturated colors inspired by the west coast.
Give unique and meaningful holiday greetings this year with their new beautifully illustrated sign language greeting cards. Their high quality cards feature the word "Peace" finger spelled across the front of the card with the English word printed inside.
A percentage of all sales go directly to programs that benefit children who are deaf and hard of hearing.
Boutique Mom readers receive free shipping. Email info@speakclothing.com for details.
