This Little Piggy

Prissy Piggies Dresses

It’s been a tough year for porkers.

Prosciutto’s never been bigger, and that whole pandemic mess hasn’t done anything for their rep.

Just when you think they’ve been all but skewered, along come Prissy Piggies pillowcase dresses. The cuter-than-a-button handmade frocks are crafted from punchy cotton fabrics with contrasting trim and adjustable straps. She can wear one as an ankle grazer this year; pair it with leggings next spring.

All of the materials are breathable and airy.

Which means your little piglet won’t be bakin’ this summer.
