Kid’s Playtime: Dressing Up
There are a few special indulgences in childhood.. the sterling rattle, the christening outfit, wooden heirloom toys. We think that every child should play, and dressing up is a fabulous pastime that stimulates the imagination, the senses and the emotions. Of course, dressing up is even better when your attire is crafted of organic flax cotton in a stunning, muted palette. Wovenplay’s designs (exclusive to Enfant Terrible) tranform children into cowgirls, moths and ballerinas with the loveliest fabrics and hand-screened images. Shown: The Lion Cape.
