Unique, Boutique Baby Clothes and Kids Clothing That Are Also Everyday Costume and Playwear!

By Amy Kushner

It is so important for us to encourage our children to be unique and creative in all areas of their lives, including the way they dress. How many of us look at our kids and know they are just the cutest and should be on display for all to see. They are natural in their acting and their Imaginations are on overdrive! Lil’ Winged Wonders can transform our lil ones into an angel, fairy or dragon in seconds!

“All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts.” William Shakespeare
We act as the costume designer or dresser for our very own actors and actresses. I have a friend that has a son who on any given day could be James Bond in a Tux, Captain Hook from Peter Pan, or your local Doctor or firefighter. Its great that some parents recognize that there is only a short phase in ones life where unless we could all act out our Walter Mitty daydreams, well, there is only one point in our lives where we CAN get away with all those different costumes, when we are small, young and innocent. Lil’ Winged Wonders is a great way to support the fun and imaginative age of infants and toddler “costuming”. And in reality, our children are acting and learning new parts all of the time, what better way to help them learn?

When my middle child was two we paid a visit to the pediatrician. That particular morning, there was all sorts of going’s on in his bedroom as I heard him getting ready; he was and still is quite the “Get it done” kind of child. So he leaves his room with a smile on his face like you wouldn’t believe, dressed in what he thought was his absolute finest. My son had on a pair of Power Ranger shorts,--the waistband pulled sideways with the diaper sticking out the top ( he knew to sag before it was really popular), a bright yellow T shirt with something on the front that did not match the shorts at all, inside out, and for his shoes, he chose a pair of Velcro fastened Aladdin light up sneakers, of course on the wrong feet (well he has the right feet, but the left shoe was on the right foot and the right shoe was on the left foot).

It was no use to tell him to change so into the car we went. We make our appointment and into the office we go and lo and behold, Dr. Page came right out and complimented my son on his outfit and noted that my son must have picked out his own clothes that morning and dressed himself (it was that obvious). My little guy beamed ear to ear, and I mentally stored that for many years (now that he is in high school, I do have to tell him to pull up his pants)
“One reason parents get so upset about clothes is that they feel they'll be judged by their child's appearance. So it may help to remember that, in the long run, a child who has learned to make his own choices is more likely to feel comfortable and confident – outcomes that are much more important than just looking well-dressed.”—Dr. Benjamin Spock

Play and Imagination are the cornerstone of a child’s learning experience. Saving old Halloween costumes or pinning a kitchen towel on to act as a cape are great ways to stimulate play and creativity. Allowing a child to fabric glue buttons or fabric pant and design their own costume is important as well. And Clothing like Lil Winged Wonders appeal is at any time a child can feel like they can be a dragon, a fairy or an angel. And have Wings! All kids want wings or think of flying! Give a child the gift of imagination, with some creativity!

Stay on Top of Kid Trends

By Ron Maier Jr.

Major providers of toys, safety products, and children’s clothing must always stay closely attuned to the needs of the market. The boom in children’s apparel is a relatively new phenomena that is likely to change many times before settling into a mainstream norm, so retailers have their work cut out for them in keeping up with all of the new innovations in design and display. This is especially true for those trying to compete in the children’s clothing market.
In the year to come, it is expected that kid’s wear will continue to follow the adult fashion industry in design, especially for the growing “tween” demographic. Hip hugger jeans and cute spaghetti strap tops will continue to invade the market while ruffles and lace will remain common for the younger kid, spring and summer apparel. For the infant category, bib tops and raglan sleeves will continue in popularity. Baby girl’s apparel will still be decorated with lace and broderie with floral or butterfly patterns and boys will sport the nautical style stripes of red, white, and blue.

Jackets and coats are always essential to the kid’s retail department. Boys are going for biker and bomber jackets made from cotton, leather, or jersey knit. Girls will be scene in the popular pea coat design, but instead of that scratchy wool, they will be made from soft, thick woven cotton. For the bottoms, all jeans and pants are still going to be made from soft denims or cottons while showing off a new rugged/fashionable look, much like their parent’s jeans.

Though children’s clothes are increasingly becoming more fashionable, the emphasis on comfort will never leave the industry. Light and airy fabrics will always be used to keep kids cool on the playground and around the house on hot days. Safety is always number one in the children’s clothing world.

The standard for displaying all of the coming children’s retail trends is very high. The appropriate childrens clothing hangers must be used in order to compete with the new kid’s retail giants. Proper displays are simply expected, and as children’s clothing becomes more important to parents everywhere, their desire to properly hang their children’s clothes in their own homes will grow. Parents are spending more on their kid’s clothes these days than they are on their own, so display and hanging fixtures need to be held to the same standard.

Regularly reading children’s fashion publications and considering the competition should be a part of every kid retailer’s job. There is an amazing amount of profit to be made in this industry if you continue to do research. Staying up on these trends will always pay off.

Another Life For Baby And Child Clothing

By Michelle Bery

In those first days after we bring home baby, it's hard to imagine that life will ever be any different than it is right at that very moment; sleepless nights, endless diapers, constant feedings, exhaustion, and, ultimately, unparalleled joy. You can't imagine this tiny baby being any bigger; a person who's able to walk, talk, and get dressed on his own. But grow he does; and before you know it, you're knee deep in baby and child clothing that seemed to fit just that very week and now is hopelessly inadequate.

Keeping up with baby and child clothing is like everything else that has to do with raising kids; it feels like you're always one step behind. Getting new clothes - however expensive - is the easy part. Knowing what to do with the baby and child clothing left behind can be what is tricky. Hand-me-downs are great and if you're able to put away some of the more gently used clothes for your smaller children then it will certainly save you quite a bit of money. But when you're dealing with a youngest or only child, the options are varied.

When in doubt about what do with baby and child clothing, think charity first. There are a great many reputable organizations that vastly appreciate any donations of baby and child clothing. Many of these noble groups deal with families who have very little and clothing - especially baby and child clothing - can make an enormous difference for them. Of course, you can always stay local and identify a family close-by who may appreciate some extra clothing. Additionally, keep in mind that charitable donations are tax deductible at the end of the year.

If you're in need of some extra money yourself, you may consider selling your outgrown baby and child clothing. There are several ways to go about this. First, many people choose to hold periodic yard sales where they offer household items and clothing. This can be a great way to reduce clutter in your home on a frequent basis and make some cash at the same time. Some neighbors even ban together on a yearly basis to organize a large yard sale; baby and child clothing, as you would expect, is a hot commodity. Just be sure that you are offering gently used, stain-free clothing for sale.

Another option for the sale of baby and child clothing is the use of consignment shops. Consignment shops allow you to bring your outgrown baby and child clothing to them, and if they accept it based on factors such as wear-and-tear and cleanliness, then they will offer it for sale in their store. Ultimately, you make a percentage of the sale. Consignment shops even exist online; there are now local stores that will accept and photograph your clothing and then offer it for sale on the Internet. Again, the successful sale of these clothes means cash in your pocket. In the end, your baby and child clothing can be just as special to someone else as it has been to you. Think twice before you condemn it to the trash; consider ways in which you can recycle these outgrown clothes.

How to Save Money on Kids Clothing

By James Dyson

Every woman normally treat the period of pregnancy with positive emotion as she constantly dream of her bouncing baby's arrival to take his own palace in into this world. As for the her husband, supporting her heartthrob while her stomach bulges couple with high expectation of soon becoming a dad give him an air of worthiness. No doubt, babies are a great blessing to their loving parents. However it could be difficult and costly to raise children, especially when parents are not empowered with credible information about smart ways to purchase necessary items for them.

For example, they require infants' diapers and clothing until they're grown enough to be independent. Now, because clothing could turn out expensive, the question an average parent want answer to is, how can I save cost on my kids' clothing?

The first thing is to learn about budgeting
Know how much you earn and weigh it against the number of your kids, vis-à-vis clothing and other vital items needed in the house such as food and medicine. Prepare to be shrewd and shun superfluous expenditures, in addition to observing the few practical steps below.

Look for discount clothing stores
Search diligently for stores that sell or specialize on exclusive or discounts sales. You can save between 45% to 75% or more on top brands for kids.

Consider second-hand clothing shops.

Can you find stores dealing in secondhand clothing in your community? You bet they are available. Also you can swap clothes with your family members or/and friends who have older kids.

Take advantage of closeout sales
Sometimes financially distressed factories or big merchants do sell out overstocked cloths far cheaper than retail prices. They may not advertise directly to the public, but sell in bulk to big store owners who in turn pass the benefits down to parents.

Know when to buy
If you search online clothing stores, you will discover many are offering coupons for potential buyers to shop at discount for a stated period of time. Certain months are worth written down in your diary so as to easily take advantage of merchants' price crash. If you're in the US, the months of September, November and December are ideal to get fairly great bargain on kids' clothing.

Lastly reduce cost by avoiding clothing fads.
Instead go for classic wears because it has been proven that popular or clothing fads normally fade away as quickly as they come. A style that was in vogue and preferred 11 months ago may become obsolete and attract snares and giggles today. What does this mean to you? Money flushed into rat hole because your kids won't like to wear them again.
