There’s just something about a Nap Dress. If there’s one piece in your closet that definitively shouts “put together” it’s this. Fans love the instantly polished look of this popular dress, but true to its name, it is as comfortable as sleepwear. The Tiny version is an exact replica with all the ease and personality of its iconic original. The Vintage Print is originally French, mais bien sûr!

Empire Baby Dress Set, $55

This floral is pure wow! The bright, bold flowers represent everything special about spring and are sure to leave an unforgettable impression. Mom’s version features a stretchy bodice with adjustable tie straps and pockets (yay!), while mini’s dress has cute cap sleeves and a hidden skort so she doesn’t have to sacrifice the monkey bars or the sandbox. Both versions would look as cute with sneakers and a denim jacket as they would with sandals and a cardigan – hooray for versatility!

From brunch to backyard wedding, you’ll reach for this midi-style over and over again. Just like mom’s dress, the girls’ version has ruffle sleeves, but is a more youthful style because it hits just above the knee.
