With winter drawing to a close and Spring right around the corner (it's technically supposed to be here now, but clearly our weather system didn't get the memo), this adorable Ralph Lauren long sleeve cotton dress is a great weight for this time of year. Doesn't hurt that it's super cute too!

Brand: Ralph Lauren
Size: 9 months
Retail price: (approx.) $45
Fashion Baby's age at time of wearing: 6 1/2 - 7 months

For today's outfit we have a soft cotton long sleeve dress by Ralph Lauren. It's a great weight for early Spring while we're waiting for temperatures to rise, or for cooler Spring and Summer days and evenings.
It features a white cotton poplin collar with a little ruffle around the edge.
The dress features a white background with a muted red pattern of floral bunches. Fashion Baby is both intrigued by the pattern and very happy wearing this dress!
The floral bunches are larger and more concentrated at the hem of the dress.
There is also a seam giving the dress a slightly high (though not quite empire) waist.
The back of the dress closes with 3 buttons.
Naturally, it also comes with a matching diaper cover! (I am always annoyed with dresses that don't!)
To complete her look, we accessorized with a pair of leather Robeez shoes detailed with white satin bows and soft leather soles. I love these shoes because they actually stay on her feet (so rare with most shoes) and they go with just about everything). Robeez can be a little more pricey than some other brands of shoes, but I would recommend making the splurge on at least one pair that will go with most of your baby's outfits. The quality is absolutely tops, and it is sooooo nice not to be constantly searching for your baby's shoes that fell off who knows where. These really do stay on!

The Low Down-
Sizing: A little small. FB wore this 9 month size dress starting at about 6 1/2 months. She also has a Ralph Lauren long sleeve polo style dress that she started wearing at the same time that was also 9 month size. So these long sleeve RL dresses seem to run consistently a bit small.
Price Point: Medium You definitely pay a bit for the Ralph Lauren name here, but at the same time, with that name comes consistently cute styles and dependable quality.
Quality: Tops! So far both of FB's Ralph Lauren dresses have held up beautifully through the washer and dryer, seams and adornments stay looking great, no complaints at all!
Practicality: TOPS! The dress has nice soft cotton so it feels good against FB's skin, it's not restrictive in any way, which allows for easy play, and it is a timeless style, so it won't start looking dated, even if it's worn by a little sister a few years down the road.
Overall Cuteness: HIGH I really like this dress. I think it's sweet and I can take her anywhere in it without her looking overly dressed up, but still very cute and put together.
Happy 7 months old, Fashion Baby!
