Vintage children’s clothes are very thin on the ground at consignment shops and thrift stores. Yeah, you can get used Gymboree or Baby Gap items, but they’re usually never more than a few years old and lack in a certain weathered charm.
Turn to Fab Vintage Baby instead, for fresh dresses crafted from real vintage fabrics — mostly pillowcases, by the looks of it. Who knew there were so many wildly printed pillowcases from the ’50s and ’60s? Fab Vintage Baby’s Heather Rider, that’s who, and she turns them into sweet little gowns for infants and girls up to age 6, as well as neat appliqued tees featuring cutouts of retro prints. Sure beats combing the thrift stores.
