Lizzie Vintage Review and Giveaway: Handmade Children’s Clothing That Truly Stands Out

I woke up this morning feeling extra fancy, which is funny because I’m usually more interested in chasing balls than bows. Mommy said we had something special to try on today. Handmade children’s clothing from a lovely small shop that makes the prettiest vintage-inspired baby clothes. Even though I’m not always in a frilly mood, I can’t help getting excited when there’s a new outfit waiting for me. It’s like opening a tiny treasure chest made just for a little Peach.

I’m not a typical girly girl. I like cars, playing in the mud, and all sports that involve a ball. That doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy girly things. I like to play with my dolls, and I love to dress up in pretty clothes. A nice outfit with well-chosen accessories just makes me feel good.

Lizzie from Lizzie Vintage recently contacted us with a proposal for a review collaboration. Lizzie makes handmade custom items for babies and toddlers. I was quite excited to have some new clothes. Every fashionista would love to have an outfit made just for her.

Lizzie’s store has a number of patterns to choose from. Mommy and I took some time browsing through the options. There were several items that caught our eye, but in the end we chose the reversible crossover dress with a matching hat to complete the outfit. We settled on the dress because it was adorable and weather appropriate for the time of year.

Customizing Our Handmade Children’s Clothing

The next step was to submit our choice to Lizzie along with my size. Then we discussed fabrics and our color and pattern preferences. We decided to go with blue, and since the dress we chose is reversible, it would be blue on one side and a delicate blue floral print on the other. With all the important decisions made, there was nothing left to do but wait.

We received our notification that the outfit was ready, and we began to anxiously wait by the mailbox. It didn’t take long for a pretty package to arrive, and we rushed home to open it. It’s always so exciting to bring a parcel home not knowing exactly what we will find inside.

The packaging was really very pretty and thoughtful. The outfit was wrapped in tissue paper and placed in a fancy plastic film envelope to keep it safe. There was even a sweet card that Lizzie herself had written. The attention to detail and care in putting the package together were apparent.

The outfit itself was equally impressive. Good quality fabrics stitched with care to produce a one-of-a-kind piece. The overall quality of the garment is what you might expect to find in a high-end store. The look and feel of the dress and hat that we received speaks of carefully crafted items by someone who cares. There was only one thing left to do. Try it on!

The Big Reveal

The dress has snap buttons on the front of the shoulder straps. The back consists of two pieces that cross over each other without actually being joined. The section that overlaps is quite generous, and the design allows for a lot of movement and flexibility without showing too much skin.

The hat is reversible too, and it comes with generous straps that tie under the chin. If I wear it on the floral side, it is a plain bonnet, but if I wear it on the blue side, it has adorable ears with the floral fabric accents. The fabrics match the dress, and I can wear the outfit several ways.

After trying several variations, I settled on wearing the dress with the floral pattern showing and the hat with the blue side that has the ears. The little floral details pull the outfit together, and the ears are too cute to hide. I added a pair of white shorts for modesty and comfort, plus my white ruffle socks to pull the outfit together. Adorable, isn’t it?

I felt so special twirling around in my new outfit, and Mommy said it looked like it was made just for my personality. Playful, comfy, and full of charm. That’s the magic of handmade children’s clothing. Every stitch feels thoughtful, and every detail tells a story. Lizzie Vintage really knows how to blend practicality with sweetness, and I loved getting to explore all the ways to wear these vintage-inspired baby clothes. I can’t wait to see what other little adventures this outfit joins me for next.
