Ralph Lauren long sleeved Polo dress

That's right folks, yesterday's post was not just a fluke. We are, indeed, back in action and today we present for your viewing pleasure an adorable Ralph Lauren long sleeved Polo dress. This is such a cute preppy little look that is perfect for those cooler summer (or warm Spring or Fall) days.
***************************************************
Brand: Ralph Lauren
Size: 9 months
Retail price: $45
Fashion Baby's age at time of wearing: 7 - 10 months
***************************************************

This sassy little number is coral/pink in color and made of the classic textured cotton polo shirt fabric. On the left side of the chest, the Ralph Lauren logo is embroidered in navy blue.

The neck features a two button closure. Naturally both buttons are inscribed with "Ralph Lauren".

There is a stylish seam just below the colar, which also features a lovely pleat, used for both good looks and ease of movement.

The belt passes through two skinny string belt loops (I wish these were a bit sturdier) and fastens in the front with an RLC clasp.

There are also two very cute, tulip-like pockets in the front, just below the belt line.

The dress has a clean, well put together look, and the belt has provided Fashion Baby with HOURS of entertainment!

The Low Down-

Sizing: True to Size. Fashion Baby started wearing this outfit at about 7 months old and continued to wear it until about 10 months old.

Price Point: Medium This is a great, classic piece that is not going to go in and out of style, and it holds up well through repeated machine washings. (I do always wash on delicate and only using Dreft, but still...) For a good brand and great quality it's a good purchase, especially if you have another little girl who can wear after big sis.

Quality: Excellent. We haven't had any problems with this outfit, with the exception of one of the little string belt loops breaking (would like it if these were a little sturdier, considering babies can't keep their hands off the belt) and having to get the belt taken in because it was way too big. The dress, itself, has held up beautifully and is of great quality.

Practicality: Very good. As babies get to crawling age, dresses inherently become less practical (not that it keeps me from buying them, mind you), but with the long sleeves, this outfit is great for those in between, not too hot, not too cool days. It's well constructed, timeless, and you can always tuck the skirt in the matching diaper cover when baby is crawling around. :)

Overall Cuteness: HIGH This outfit is simple, but stylish. As much as I am an absolute slave to smocking, I still appreciate the wonderful value of a cute, simple, looks great any day outfit like this. It has gotten a lot of wear but keeps on looking adorable!
