Holding Court

Daniela Corte Baby Collection

Time for tee? (Not again.)

Sometimes you seek something more regal for your little prince and princess.

Local fashion maven Daniela Corte, long adored for her creative party dresses, has a new baby line, much of it made using fabrics in adorable patterns by Italian textile manufacturer Mapel.

Clothing for boys includes a blue-striped Canchero jacket, Patch jeans, Loungie pants, and footie pajamas. For girls, the pink Princess dress is fit for royalty, while a polka-dot coat is the crowning touch.

With this lot, your mini-monarchs can rule the playground in style.

Available at Bambini Design, 82 Boylston Street, Brookline (617-730-4114); online at tatutina.net.
