Dresses You'll Both Like

tala bee kids' clothing!

Though you’ve stocked her dresser with jeans and tees, her laundry hamper’s always filled with dresses and tights. Nurture be damned.

Show her the middle ground with Tala Bee Kids. The new, local clothing line balances the frills she craves with a refined modernity you’ll love.

Silhouettes are soft (bloomers, baby-doll tops, draped dresses) and details subtly feminine (pin-tucking, ruching, touches of lace), but there’s not a trace of froufrou in the lot. Instead, inviting, wearable fabrics (stretchy cotton jersey, velveteen, corduroy) and a spare palette (white, black, denim, camel, navy, pink) spin it in the direction of carefree sophistication.

Our faves include the romantically shirred Ashley dress and easy-on Jojo Sailor and Gina pants. With oversize buttons and gathered bows on back pockets, these just might be pants she’ll wear.

Available online at talabeekids.com, $20-$78.
