A dream is a wish the heart makes and my heart wants sweet prints and soft knits in affordable children’s clothing. And I have a feeling I’m not the only one. Luckily, our wish has come true! Earlier this year I connected with the ladies behind Smockingbird clothing to dream up some magic. And I’m so excited to finally share it with you all!
The new Smockingbird collection features adorable styles for boys and girls perfect for any little mouse and princess lover in your life. This 22-piece collection will take kids from teacups to poolside to sleeping beauty mode, all for under $50! The pieces are just as perfect for everyday wear as they are for a family vacation (in which case you might want to download my Ultimate Disney World Packing List)! Today I’m going to chat about Smockingbird clothing and the collection as well as answer some commonly asked questions.
Smockingbird Clothing
First things first, I’d be remiss if I didn’t share a bit about the talented ladies behind Smockingbird clothing. Smockingbird is a handmade children’s clothing line started by two moms, Anna and Parmelee. These women believe adorable clothes should be affordable (can I get an “amen”!) They offer timeless smocks, monogrammed pieces, fun appliques, seasonal wear, and so much more. I love that their clothing is deeply rooted in family traditions and designed for “your little one’s next adventure”.
We have been big Smockingbird fans for many years. Margaret and Catherine particularly love their holiday clothing. So, it was especially fun for them to witness Mommy linking up with Smockingbird for this collection!
The Mouse & Princess Smockingbird Collection
A few weeks ago the girls took these looks for a test run with some fellow Disney-loving friends and we had so much fun! I even bumped into a few of y’all who got a sneak peek! This Smockingbird collection includes 22 pieces for boys and girls – swimsuits, pajamas, shorts sets, dresses, shortalls…there’s a little bit of everything. And the great news is, it’s all under $50!
Smockingbird Knit Pieces
If you’ve never experienced Smockingbird knit pieces, you’re in for a real treat. The softness is incredible, I only wish these products came in my size! Plus, the fabric is lightweight and breathable, which is a must for kids running around in the summertime. There are two prints in these Smockingbird knit pieces and they both make my heart sing! First, a handpainted print featuring fairytale princess dresses, and second, a colorful rainbow mouse print. Whether they’re spending a day at the parks or running around the playground with friends, your little ladies are sure to stay comfy (and cute!) while wearing these.
Smockingbird Pajamas
Keeping with the softness trend, the children’s pajamas in this collection are to die for! Both of the knit prints (rainbow mouse and handpainted princess dresses) are available in pajamas as well. Plus, the rainbow mouse print comes in two colorways for PJs, ensuring that all of your little ones can dream happily! These Smockingbird pajamas come in a variety of styles including zip-up footed PJs, shorts sets, and a pants set.
Mouse Clothing for Girls
On top of these buttery soft pieces, there is even more fairytale sweetness for your little ladies! If you’re a fan of smocking, this Rainbow Mouse Dress and girls’ bubble are both hand-smocked and oh-so-pretty. This mouse applique shorts set is perfect for a day of running around (who am I kidding, that’s every day for kids!) And this mouse embroidered seersucker bubble has me heartbroken that both of my girls have outgrown bubbles! I know all parents will be appreciative of the snaps in the stride on the bubbles and shortalls for easy changing.
Mouse Clothing for Boys
Let’s not forget about those sweet little boys! All of the precious details in this Smockingbird collection that are available for girls (smocking, appliques, and embroidery) come in boy versions as well. For the littlest of guys, this mouse striped shortall is hand-smocked, this mouse embroidered bubble features adorable blue gingham, and this blue shortall features the sweetest mouse appliques. Starting at 12 months, boys can fit into the shorts sets in this collection. This hand-smocked boys’ shorts set and this mouse applique shorts set are both cute and comfy. For a look that is a bit dressier, I love this collared shirt and embroidered mouse shorts.
Smockingbird Swimsuits
Last, but certainly not least, this Smockingbird clothing collection features swimsuits for boys and girls who are ready to create some poolside magic! The girls can choose between this colorful tankini and this long-sleeve rash guard one piece. Both styles feature precious ruffles, rainbow colors, and a mouse print. The one-piece suit has snaps in the stride for sizes 3M-3T. The boys can coordinate in these rainbow mouse swim trunks. The trunks feature an adjustable tie waist and are fully lined for comfort. All of these Smockingbird swimwear items are UPF 50+.
Your Questions, Answered
If you’ve found yourself eyeing something from the Mouse and Princess collection, but have a question (or two), please feel free to reach out via DM or email me at hamlin.grace@gmail.com. With that being said, I thought it might be helpful to cover a few commonly asked questions about the collection here on the blog.
In what sizes are these Smockingbird clothing pieces available?
The exact size range varies per item, but there are options starting at 3M and going up to 12 years. And as a mom with girls growing up faster than I can say “bibbidi bobbidi”, I’m thrilled to see this larger size range!
What is the price range?
Everything is under $50! The prices range from $39-48.
Are there sibling sets?
Yes! Like many of you, I live for a cute sibling set moment. There are so many adorable coordinating styles for the family in this collection.
What can we expect quality-wise?
I’ve personally gotten to experience each style and the quality is incredible. I’m talking hand-smocking, hand-embroidery, and the kind of materials that make the clothes durable enough to last for many years and be passed down. I am always so appreciative of these little details that Smockingbird is attentive to.
When will these mouse and princess clothing items be available?
They are available to pre-order now and are estimated to ship in mid-July. I have noticed that a few styles are selling out in certain sizes, so don’t sleep on anything you have your heart set on!
