Imagine your children twirling on sandy beaches, exploring lush green parks, and having fun in the sun. Our new Summer 2024 collection features a range of adorable dresses and outfits that are perfect for long warm summer days. From the playful back detail of the Paige Dress to the lightweight and breezy Marina Double Cotton Gauze Summer Dresses, we have handmade fashion to delight even the most choosy fashionista, everything is handmade with love with your precious child in mind.
We understand that summer is a time for celebrations, so we have created special dresses for weddings and birthday parties that can crossover into playtime. Our special occasion dresses are designed to make your child look and feel radiant and confident. Shades of pink, full volume skirts, and ruffles make these dresses truly stand out. For the pink lovers, we recommend the Darya pink floral dress and the vibrant Stella linen dress. As a bold and equally beautiful alternative, we have the Kelly Green linen and lace Clover dress. At Rarity, we pay meticulous attention to detail to ensure that each article of fashion we make is purposeful, exquisite, and practical for kids' play and washing. Our quality heirloom dresses are built to last and designed for passing down to the next generation.
But we didn't stop at dresses alone! We thoughtfully created mix-and-match sustainable quality summer separates for more casual and daily wear. These are part of our 'Timeless Children's Essentials,' all designed with an easy breezy summer lens in mind. For the pink lovers and beyond, we offer a multitude of pink summer t-shirts with special details. Our flutter sleeve t-shirts, ballet tops, and peplum tops even provide a little sun protection by covering the shoulders.
For a semi-dressed-up look, we have created some high mileage and well-loved soft 'Dressy Separates' with special details such as pockets and adjustable features. Our heavy rotation shorts mix perfectly with all of our tops and blouses, and we've added an artful unisex playsuit. The joyful denim playsuit called 'Parker' is a summer short overall with a splash of artful nature print detail. These overalls are not only trendy but also functional, with adjustable straps and plenty of pockets for storing treasures found along the way. For the pink lovers, we have the joyful pocket 'Amy Skirt' and an easy-to-wear pink-based Botanical Summer Peasant Blouse.
We hope you enjoy all the fine, fashionable handmade treasures in our Sun and Sea collection as much as we enjoyed creating them. Join us this summer at Sidney Street Market on Thursday evenings, starting June 13th. If you prefer to shop in person and are local to Victoria, we recommend visiting our friends at Uptown Mall's 'Modern Baby' or 'Thistle and Wren' on Gladstone Avenue in Fernwood. These reputable fine children’s fashion boutiques will carry a special selection of our handmade dresses starting in June 2024.

Knits: Cozy and Versatile
When it comes to knits, comfort takes centre stage. These fabrics are typically made by interlocking loops of yarn, resulting in a stretchy and flexible material. Knit fabrics, such as bamboo, jersey or rib knits, are perfect for those active playdates and adventures. They allow for freedom of movement, making them a go-to choice for kids who love to jump, run, and explore. Plus, their elasticity ensures a snug fit, making them excellent for growing children. So, next time you want your little one to feel both cozy and stylish, reach for a knit!
Wovens: Classic and Refined
On the other side of the fashion spectrum, we have woven fabrics. These fabrics are created by weaving yarns together in a perpendicular pattern, resulting in a more structured and stable material. Woven fabrics, like cotton or linen, exude elegance and refinement. They are perfect for special occasions, providing a polished and sophisticated look. Wovens are also great for creating intricate details and patterns, making them a favourite for our meticulous designs. Whether it's a fancy dress or a tailored shirt, woven fabrics bring a touch of timeless charm to any outfit.
Choosing the Right Fabric:
Now that we've explored the merits of both knits and wovens, how do you decide which one to choose? Consider the occasion, comfort level, and style you're aiming for. Knits offer flexibility and ease of movement, while wovens bring a touch of sophistication.
Whether it’s the cozy comfort of knits or the refined elegance of wovens, we believe that both fabric choices are perfect for celebrating rare moments and the magic of childhood. At osceolapersonalinjury we offer both options, and seamlessly blend them together in each seasons cohesive capsule kids wardrobes.
