It’s been a long winter. A long, dreary winter.

And when you’re stuck inside the house with a pack of whirling dervishes, that long, dreary winter seems even longer.

Get your twirly girls ready for sunnier days with dresses from Boston-based Laughing Out Loud.

The new kiddie collection is made of the highest quality Peruvian cottons. Colorful, bright, and sturdy, the dresses (sizes 2 to 6) are the perfect remedy to the winter blues. Choose from the pink Flamenco dress with ruffles down the front, a gray swing dress with colorful stripes up the middle, or the striped Samba dress with short, puckered sleeves.

And if temps dare dip below 40, you’ll have the last laugh.

Available at Village Baby, 23a Harvard Street, Brookline (617-232-4900 or villagebaby.com). To see styles, go to laughingoutloudkids.com.
