Sing a New Tunic

Bezz Tunics

Forget rocket science: The true test of genius is dressing a squirming toddler.

After all, it takes a very steady hand to manage snaps the size of pinheads.

Easier does it with Bezz tunics. Miami local Liz Atlan specially orders the cotton coveralls in tropical colors like turquoise and coral, adding hand embroidery and felt appliques of owls, fairies, flowers, or spotted mushrooms.

The result: an easy-on top that goes from the beach to school.

Provided you add some smarty-pants.
