CityKid Maddie is giving Thanksgiving smocked outfit #goals in this dress.
Wait, what is a smocked outfit?
Imagine an embroidery technique that's been around for centuries, which gathers fabric to make it super stretchy. That’s smocking for ya! It's a style that's both trendy and traditional.
Even the pickiest of kiddos will love a smocked ‘fit for its stretch and comfort. These pieces adapt to growth spurts, too - so you can confidently buy ahead for the holidays. Go ahead and continue shopping for those Christmas outfits too!
How to dress for Thanksgiving:
Thanksgiving calls for introducing some lush autumnal hues to your munchkin's wardrobe. Think ruby reds, pumpkin oranges, forest greens, rustic browns, and golden yellows. And smocked outfits often come in soft fabrics like cotton or velvet – perfect for keeping your tiny tot snug and comfy all day long.
Details matter! That's where those adorable fall-themed embroideries come in. Picture your baby boy looking dapper in rompers flaunting cute turkey and pumpkin patch designs, and your girls looking like autumn princesses in dresses detailed with falling foliage or harvest-themed embroidery.
Remember, dressing up is also part of creating those beautiful memories that you'll giggle and awe over in years to come, so go for it! Many families hold dearly the tradition of wearing smocked outfits for special occasions, some even own heirloom quality pieces that are passed down through generations. Can you blame them? They're too cute to handle and have a timeless charm.
Are you already picturing your kiddos in their perfect outfits, winning hearts at the dinner table?
