These days little girls grow up way too fast.

One day, she’s a sweet angel in diapers who can do no wrong. The next, she’s coming home from school wearing a tube top and hot pants.

Keep the apple of your no-one-dresses-like-Britney-in-my-house eye young a little longer with Baby Bean Vintage Daywear, a line of clothes made from one-of-a-kind vintage fabrics and suited for children ages 6 months to 6 years.

You’ll love the Amalie Bow Dress (with an elastic neckline and matching head scarf), the Ella Prairie Daydress (with charming puff sleeves), the Maggie Summer Tunic (dig the contrasting trim), and the Miette Mini (with a touch of velvet). Accessorize with the reversible Faye Floppy Hat (denim on one side, floral cotton on the other) or colorful Bean Bib.

Much more appropriate than a belly chain.
